Kookaburra
A bird, a laugh, a legend.
The Laughing Kookaburra is more than a bird — it’s a bushland alarm clock, a symbol of home, and one of the most beloved voices in Australia. According to Aboriginal Dreamtime stories, its call wakes the sky people to light the fire and start the day.
This silhouette captures the proud, perched pose of our native kingfisher — a fitting tribute to mornings filled with laughter, and to backyards full of life.

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.
