Monarch Butterfly
The world’s most studied butterfly, the monarch lives its most brilliant life then dies at 2 to 6 weeks. Unless you’re lucky enough to be the last generation of the year, which gets an extended life to go somewhere warm on holiday. Monarch is the only butterfly to migrate like birds and they estimate a billion monarchs arrive in the mountains of Mexico every year. We see a monarch’s glorious coloring and think ‘pretty’. To an animal, it’s code for "Don't eat me. I'm poisonous." The monarch became Vermont's official state butterfly in 1987. Don’t let ours flutter by.

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.
what’s the word on the bird?
