Description

Small. Wise. Watching.

Say hello to the Mini Owl — the tiniest sage you’ll ever perch in a planter, fence post, or gift box. A miniature version of our popular Great Horned Owl, this little one’s perfect for anyone who values quiet strength, intelligence, or just really loves birds that look like they’ve seen everything.

Whether it’s for a thoughtful friend, a night owl, or someone who always knows what’s up — this tiny totem says a lot without hooting a word.

Let this tiny owl keep watch from a wise perch.

As with all minis, it’s best to place your owl where it won’t get lost in the landscape—somewhere light, visible, and slightly elevated.

1. Pick a spot with contrast – Pale fence post tops, porch railings, planter boxes, or light-colored timber work beautifully.
2. Hold at a downward angle – This ensures the stake bites securely into the surface.
3. Gently tap the thicker end of the stake with a hammer or mallet until it’s firmly set.
4. Step back and admire – Owls never look rushed. Take it in slowly.

Top tip: Avoid dense greenery or barky tree trunks that might hide your owl’s details. You want that gaze to be seen.

Is this modeled after a specific owl?
Yes! It’s our Mini version of the Great Horned Owl—known for its fierce look, silent flight, and serious smarts.

Is the Mini Owl weatherproof?
Totally. It’s made from the same weathering steel as our full-size pieces. Over time, it forms a protective patina that looks beautiful and holds strong.

Where do people usually place this?
Fence posts, planter boxes, and railings are great options. Just make sure there’s contrast so you can see those sharp little horns and eyes.

Is this suitable for a gift?
Perfectly. It arrives in a ready-to-gift A6 branded envelope—small enough to slip into a greeting card or stocking.

Why do people love owls so much?
Because they represent wisdom, calm, and perspective. And, let’s face it—they just look cool.

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.
