INSTALL IS EASY
The perfect spot for your bird is in a post, fence, tree or wall against the clear sky or a light single colour. You are the artist. Then simply grab a hammer and tap it in. If the wood is hard, drill a small hole first.
Step 1: Open
Step 2: Hammer
Step 3: Enjoy
PROUDLY MADE HERE IN AMERICA
Because we believe in staying local and supporting local, Metalbirds are crafted right here in the US in three small family-owned factories, before they’re dispatched to you from our Salt Lake City warehouse.
OUR SUSTAINABILITY
Being a sustainable business is super important to us. From using recycled local steel to recycled cardboard packaging and more, we’re on track to becoming carbon negative by 2021.
GLOBAL ART PROJECT
When you install your Metalbird you become an artist in your own backyard and part of The Metalbird Global Art Project. Please take a pic of your bird and share it with the hashtag #mymetalbird. We can’t wait to see it!
DOING GOOD
Strong local communities are needed now more than ever and we make sure to commit time and profit into projects and causes that help sustain US communities.
BY THE BEST
We don’t cut corners on getting the best people who care most to make and finish the birds exactly the way we want them.
WITH CORTEN STEEL
Over the years we’ve tried everything in our quest to find the perfect Metalbird material and Corten® Steel is it. It’s used in high-end architecture for good reason.
TO AGE WELL
Exposed to the elements, within weeks Corten® Steel develops a patina that seals the steel and preserves it for decades. It just gets better and better.

FROM MY BACKYARD TO YOURS
What inspired me in 2009, an industrial designer in New Zealand, to create life-sized native bird silhouettes out of metal?
I loved creating the birds, sure, but the biggest kick I got was from installing them in parks and streets around my neighbourhood (anywhere I thought I wouldn’t get arrested, basically) and seeing the surprise, delight and intrigue they caused.
