Description

Two generations, one unmistakable laugh.

This Mum & Mini Kookaburra Set brings together a full-sized bird and a sweet little chick — a perfect pairing for families, mums, or anyone who grew up hearing that morning cackle across the bush.

Inspired by Aboriginal stories of the kookaburra waking the sky each day, this set adds a note of legacy and connection to your space. It’s not just decorative — it’s deeply Australian.

✓ Includes 2 birds... one full-size (21cm × 30cm), one chick silhouette
✓ Crafted for outdoors... weatherproof 3mm Corten® steel
✓ Quick to arrive... same-day dispatch before 12pm weekdays
✓ Made in Australia... by a family-run workshop
✓ Symbolic & heartfelt... makes a beautiful gift for Mother’s Day or remembrance
✓ Easy to install... tap into timber or soft ground using a hammer

Perch them where they feel connected.

1. Choose two spots — together on a post, or separated for a visual story.
2. Install the chick facing mum if placing them apart — it creates a sweet interaction.
3. Tap in gently using a mallet or hammer at a slight angle.
4. Let the bigger bird lead the line of sight — kookaburras love high vantage points.
5. Pause and listen — you might just hear the real ones calling back.

Top Tip: Many customers place this set as a memorial for a parent and child. You can add a small engraved plaque or stone to make it personal.

What makes this set special?
It’s a meaningful visual of care, nurture, and Aussie identity — perfect for mums, memorials, or milestones.

Are they weatherproof?
Yes — crafted from durable 3mm Corten® steel, designed to age beautifully.

Can I split them across two locations?
You can! Some place the chick in a pot or side garden, with mum in a main spot — it’s lovely both ways.

Where should I place them?
Timber posts or raised garden areas are best. Let the light hit them in the morning or at dusk.

Do kookaburras really live in families?
Yes — they form tight-knit family groups, and the juveniles help raise the next chicks. Proper team effort.

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.
