Pair of Swallows
Fall in love with these two love birds, a perfect gift for your tweetheart. With 75 species of swallow to choose from, we went for the most widespread Swallow species of all… the beautifully shaped Barn Swallow who frequents every continent in the world except Antarctica. We've worked hard to capture their beautiful shape and created a stunning piece of Metalbird art we hope you love.
Our Pair of Swallows 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.

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.
