Timeless Piece of Art
Supports Bird Conservation
The Mallee Emu-wren is a tiny bird, only 15 centimetres long. But it's filamentous tail can be up to 1.5 times the length of its body! Since the Murray Mallee Region in South Australia and Victoria is its only habitat, fires have recently destroyed much of it. The conservation effort is working but another fire could put the Emu-wren on a path to extinction.
Birdlife Australia stands together to stop extinctions. We are supporting Birdlife Australia and their mission by donating 10% of sales from each Emu-Wren Metalbird sold, the 2nd bird in our BirdLife Australia Collection.
The trick to finding this shy species is to find large unburned patches of spinifex, listening carefully for the species’ very thin, faint calls.
Our Mallee Emu-Wren is:
- 29cm high by 20cm wide (includes measurement of the branch/spike)
- Easily installed with the tap of a hammer (pre-drill hardwood)
- Crafted in 3mm Corten® 'weathering' Steel to form a beautiful patina that changes with the seasons
- The perfect gift while supporting a great cause
Our birds are designed with 3mm CorTen steel to form a protective patina that deepens and strengthens with the seasons. This patina will deepen in shade over the years until it reaches a deep brown/charcoal black hue.
This self-sealing aspect of CorTen steel provides a quality guarantee of up to 100 years, ensuring that our product lasts a lifetime and remains completely corrosion resistent.
What might initially resemble generic rust is simply the air and water-tight patina forming over a six month period, so don’t panic! Your Metalbird is doing exactly what it’s been designed to do, and this patina will protect the steel from any further damage and disintegration.
CorTen steel does not require any treatments, oils or chemical additives and is therefore extremely environmentally friendly.

MADE FROM PREMIUM CORTEN STEEL
Corten Steel or ‘Weathering Steel’ is used in high-end exterior architecture, for good reason. Exposed to the elements, within weeks it develops a patina that seals the steel and preserves it for decades. It also leaves a beautiful even colouring that will get darker over the years.
