Description

Cool, calm, and just plain cute.

Skip the trip to Phillip Island and bring a bit of penguin magic to your backyard. Our Penguin silhouette captures the plucky charm of these seabirds with a posture that feels mid-waddle, mid-wonder.

Penguins along Australia's southern coast are nature’s contradiction: perfectly adapted to both sea and land. With black backs to blend into the deep and white bellies to mirror the sky, their camouflage is clever — but their cuteness is obvious.

Crafted in 3mm Corten steel, this weather-hardy bird brings a bit of fun to any outdoor space. Loved by kids, adored by grown-ups, and built to last.

Same-day dispatch... on weekday orders before 2pm

March this penguin to pride of place.

  1. Choose a garden bed or pot with open space for visibility.
  2. Hold at a slight angle to mimic a natural stance.
  3. Press or tap gently into soil or mulch until firm.
  4. Angle toward walkways or kid zones for maximum smiles.
  5. Double-check it’s sturdy — Penguins like a solid footing.

Top Tip: For loose soil, wedge a flat stone behind the stake to keep it upright.

Is this a Fairy Penguin?
Yes — inspired by the Little Penguin, native to Australia’s southern coast.

Can I install it in a balcony planter?
Absolutely! It’s light enough for pots and planters.

Will it stain surfaces over time?
Nope. The Corten patina forms on the bird itself and won’t leach.

What age is this suited for?
Safe for all ages with supervision during install. Kids love it!

Do penguins live in Australia?
Yes — mostly along the southern coast and islands like Phillip Island.

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.
