The Mini Flock: Small Birds, Big Personality.

Meet the little legends of the Metalbird world — our most-loved designs, now in mini form. Tiny but mighty, these steel silhouettes bring all the heart of our classics in a smaller, gift-perfect size.

From the bright and brave Mini Cardinal (a symbol of love, loyalty, and remembrance) to the lightning-fast Mini Hummingbird and the ever-watchful Mini Owl, these pieces may be small — but they make a serious impact.

Each one is crafted from weatherproof Corten® steel, designed to develop a warm patina over time that blends perfectly into nature. Installation takes seconds — a quick tap with a hammer and they’re ready to perch anywhere: on a fence post, planter, gate, or tree.

Whether you’re gifting a bird lover, marking a memory, or just adding a little soul to your garden, this mini flock delivers big meaning in small form.

Why they’re loved:
Iconic designs...reimagined in mini size
Made from Corten® steel...ages beautifully outdoors
Installs in seconds...with just a hammer
Gift-ready...boxed and ready to wrap
Perfect for...gardens, planters, fences, and patios
A small gesture...that lasts for years

Includes:
Mini Cardinal • Mini Hummingbird • Mini Owl

Installing your Metalbird is easy as pie (and even more satisfying).

For this regular silhouette design:

  1. Pick your spot – Trees, posts, fences, decks—anywhere with a solid wooden base.
  2. Hold the bird at a slight downward angle – This gives you leverage and a clean tap.
  3. Tap the thickest part of the stake using a hammer or mallet until it’s firmly in place.
  4. Step back and admire your handiwork – You just created yard art with meaning.

Top tip: The patina may take a few weeks to develop depending on weather—rain and sunshine speed things up naturally.

What are these mini birds made from?
Each piece is laser-cut from premium Corten® steel, a weatherproof material that develops a rich patina (rust-like finish) over time, protecting it from the elements.

How big are the minis?
Each Mini Bird stands roughly 4–6 inches tall, depending on the design. They’re sized perfectly for fences, pots, and small garden spaces.

Will they rust or stain surfaces?
Corten® steel is designed to weather naturally — the initial rust layer forms quickly, then stabilizes. It won’t flake or deteriorate. We recommend avoiding installation directly on porous surfaces like light concrete or pale stone during the early weathering stage.

Can I install them indoors?
Yes. While they’re designed for outdoor use, many customers install them indoors as unique wall or shelf art.

Do they come in gift packaging?
Absolutely. Each mini bird arrives flat-packed in a beautifully designed C6-size envelope, perfect for gifting or sending by mail.

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.
