Peregrine Falcon
One of the world’s most widespread birds, the word "peregrine" means "wanderer" or "pilgrim". Peregrine Falcons are found in all continents except Antarctica and thought to migrate as much as 15,500 miles a year, traveling between continents to mate or find food. Now that's dedication! An elite predator with exceptional eyesight, its picks out its prey from over half a mile above it, before stooping (or dive bombing), reaching speed of well over 200mph before smashing the unsuspecting bird or critter. Fortunately, our version has had a feed and is taking a break. A beautiful bird just looking for a nice yard to rest up in.
Our Peregrine Falcon 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.
