Crow
Crows often get a bad rap. Historically they’ve been associated with death, disease and bad omens… reviled as crop-stealers by farmers and condemned as nuisances by city dwellers. To cap it off, a group of Crows is called a Murder! Totally unfair in our humble opinion. Crows are fascinating creatures and so smart and so good at improvising that some zoologists admiringly call them "feathered apes". Black, regal, intelligent and with the largest brain to body weigh ration in the bird kingdom, Crows are amazing. Finally, Crows can remember the faces of individual humans and will hold a grudge against individuals who do them wrong. Don’t worry, our one won’t. Simply put it in a great tree with a good view and it will love you for life.
Our Crow is:
✓ Effortless install:
- Drill a pilot hole (recommended - but not essential): use a drill bit that’s
one size smaller than the spike (tight enough to hold) - Tap Tap Tap: Grab your bird and gently tap the spike into your surface with a
hammer or mallet. About 1 to 2 inches deep is plenty, just enough to hold its
weight. - Step back: and admire your art.

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.
