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.
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.

MADE WITH LOVE
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.

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.
