Belted Kingfisher
Built for the dive, paused in perfect stillness.
The Belted Kingfisher is a bird built for drama—hovering mid-air like a hummingbird, then plunging headfirst into the water with zero hesitation. It’s all precision, power, and patience. Our steel silhouette captures the Kingfisher at rest between dives, perched and watchful, just as it would be over a quiet pond or riverbend.
Crafted from American-made Corten® steel, this striking little figure will weather beautifully outdoors and make a perfect gift for bird lovers, fishermen, or anyone who appreciates quiet strength and natural elegance.

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.
