Description

Silent. Sharp-eyed. Utterly commanding.

The Great Horned Owl isn’t just a bird—it’s a stealth unit in feathers. With forward-facing eyes that don’t move (seriously), a head that swivels 270 degrees, and wings so quiet they sneak up on prey without a sound, it’s one of the most formidable creatures in the wild.

Those “horns”? Just feather tufts. They’re not ears or weapons—they’re just for the look. And what a look. Powerful, mysterious, and built to impress.

This steel silhouette captures that watchful stillness perfectly—perched, alert, and unmistakable. Add it to your yard and prepare for compliments (and maybe a few double takes).

Let this silent hunter take its perch.

1. Choose a spot with height – A tall fence post, tree trunk, or elevated garden rail gives the best effect.
2. Hold the stake at a slight downward angle – This makes it easier to install and more secure.
3. Tap the thick end of the stake with a hammer or mallet until it’s firmly in place.
4. Adjust for posture – Owls don’t mess around. Make sure it’s standing proud.

Crafted from Corten® steel, your owl will weather into a rich rust-like patina that blends naturally with its surroundings.

Why is it called the “Great Horned” Owl?
The “horns” are actually just tufts of feathers. They’re not ears or weapons—just one of nature’s coolest-looking design features.

Can I install it on a tree or post?
Absolutely. It’s designed to tap securely into any wooden surface—tree trunk, post, planter box, or fence rail.

Will it hold up outside?
Yes. It’s cut from 1/8-inch American Corten® steel, which is made to weather over time. The rust-toned patina protects the bird and looks even better with age.

Is it silent like the real thing?
It won’t swoop down on you, but it’s pretty stealthy for a garden ornament. No creaks, no rattling—just quietly commanding presence.

Is it a good gift?
Definitely. This one’s a hit with bird lovers, backyard legends, and anyone who appreciates a bird that looks like it knows everything.

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.
