Swan
Unlike the name, Mute swans are anything but mute. Being one of North America's heaviest flying birds, they boast a true abundance of noise. It is said that their wing beats can be heard from as far as a mile away! These cobs and pens were originally brought in from Europe as an ornamental addition to parks and estates in the mid 1800's-1900's. You don't want to catch these guys on a bad day at the park. Mute swans are known for their aggressive behavior towards humans and other wetland wildlife, especially when nesting.

AS SEEN IN
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.
