A sharp look and a sharper song.

The Australian Magpie is smart, stylish, and known for its incredible vocal range — from carol-like warbles to surprisingly complex calls.

Perch it where the chorus begins.

  1. Find a sunny fence post or deck rail — magpies love a clear view.
  2. Hold at a gentle angle and tap the stake in with a hammer.
  3. Press down around the base to ensure it sits firm.
  4. Face it toward open space — it's how real magpies patrol.
  5. Add nearby plants or rocks to complete the scene.

Top Tip: Great near lawns — they love open space to 'hunt' bugs.

Are magpies really that clever?
Very. They’re one of the smartest bird species in the world.

Can I gift this easily?
Yes — it ships flat, fits in a mailbox, and makes a memorable present.

Will it fade or rust?
No — Corten® steel develops a patina that protects it for the long haul.

Is it safe for kids' gardens?
Definitely — just install securely and place out of reach for toddlers.

Do magpies really sing different songs?
They do. Each bird can have its own unique song patterns and mimicry.

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.
