Penguin
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.

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.
