Add this joyful native to your backyard — and join the Metalbird Global Art Project, where every bird tells a story.

Find a perch that brings out its cheeky side.

1. Choose a spot with good visibility — fence posts and garden beds work great.
2. Hold the bird at a slight downward angle for strength and natural posture.
3. Tap the thick end of the stake into timber with a hammer or mallet.
4. Make sure it’s secure with a quick wobble check.
5. Step back and smile — that’s a bit of Aussie wonder right there.

Top Tip: In tougher wood, a small pilot hole will make tapping smoother and protect the stake.

Why is this bird so popular?
The male Blue Wren’s blue-and-black plumage makes it one of Australia’s most loved backyard visitors — lively, loyal, and always up to something.

Can I install it in a pot or rail?
Yes — it fits beautifully in large planters, garden beds, or timber rails with enough depth for the stake.

Is it suitable as a gift?
Absolutely. It’s light, meaningful, beautifully packaged, and perfect for birthdays, housewarmings, or just because.

Is it weatherproof?

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.
