Dragonfly
The biggest and most colorful members of the dragonfly family, skimmers are a sunny day classic, hanging out around ponds and meadows on big, bright, beautiful wings making us feel all ‘summer afternoony’. Imagine that x 100 in the pre-dinosaur days when dragonflies had 3-foot wing spreads! Skimmers are named according to their wing spots and the four-spot skimmer dragonfly is the official state insect of Alaska. For centuries the dragonfly has been a symbol of happiness and new beginnings. An excellent choice for your place? Heck, yeah.

Each Metalbird is crafted from Corten® Steel, a premium, weathering steel made to last.
When it meets the elements, it doesn’t rust like your old BBQ. It transforms.
That change you’re seeing? That’s patina. A tough, protective outer layer that seals the steel, adds character, and preserves your bird for decades.
This isn’t paint. It’s nature’s way of ageing gracefully.
The Patina Process:
At first, you’ll notice bright orange spots (we call this the teenage phase). Soon enough, the whole bird will turn a bold orange, slowly shifting into deep burnt umber. Eventually, it settles into a moody charcoal that feels like it’s always belonged.
The Result? A piece of industrial art with a heartbeat. No peeling, no fading, just a bird that gets better with age.
