Make a statement with the Red-Tailed Hawk – bold, fierce, and built to soar.

Bring home the USA’s most iconic bird of prey with this striking silhouette in weatherproof Corten® steel. The Red-Tailed Hawk isn’t just a bird – it’s a guardian of open skies and a favorite fencepost visitor across the country. Sometimes called a "chickenhawk", whether perched in stillness or screaming across the valley, this raptor is pure power and poise.

This Metalbird captures the hawk’s famous red tail and sharp posture in a piece that looks incredible installed high — like it’s on the hunt.

With a wingspan in your backyard and a scream borrowed by every Hollywood action movie, this is one bird that refuses to be ignored.

Easy to send. Ships in a 16" x 13" x 1/4" flat box that fits in a postal mailer
Same-day dispatch. On weekday orders before 2pm
Made in the USA. Cut and crafted in a family-owned factory
Built for the elements. Made from USA 1/8" Corten® steel, designed to weather beautifully
Easy to install. Designed to perch high and proud on fences, posts, or rails

Install like a raptor taking its perch.

This bird isn’t shy - it wants to be seen. Perch your Red-Tailed Hawk high for maximum drama.

1. Pick a spot with a clear view - fence post, deck rail, or wooden wall
2. Hold the silhouette steady
with the stake pointing down and outward
3. Use a hammer or mallet to gently tap the thickest part of the stake until secure
4. Give it a wiggle to check it’s firm, then step back and let it survey its territory

Top tip: This bird looks best against the sky - give it some altitude for the full effect.

Does the tail really look red?
Yes – in the right light, the tail section has a striking red hue, just like the real bird. It’s one of the most iconic parts of the silhouette.

Is it weatherproof?
Absolutely. Corten® steel forms a protective patina that resists corrosion. No flaking, no rust – just character.

Where’s the best place to install it?
Anywhere high and horizontal. Think fence posts, deck rails, or walls where it looks like it's scanning for prey.

Is this the scream I hear in movies?
Yes – even if you’re watching a bald eagle on screen, the audio is probably this hawk. It’s the go-to sound of danger.

What makes this a great gift?
It’s bold, powerful, and full of character – the perfect symbol of strength and freedom.

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.
