Timeless Piece of Art

Supports Bird Conservation

Bar-tailed Godwits are the world record holders for non-stop flight: they have been recorded travelling 11,000km from Alaska to New Zealand in only 8 days, flying at an average of more than 50km/h. This journey is also a fantastic weight-loss program, as the birds lose almost half of their body weight along the way. Luckily, once they arrive in Australia, our mudflats are waiting, filled with tasty morsels to help them recuperate.

Our Bar-Tailed Godwit is:

28cm high by 20cm wide approximately 300g 
 Same day dispatch on orders placed before 2pm on weekdays
 Made locally in a family-owned factory, right here in AU
 Crafted from 3mm Corten steel and designed to last a lifetime
 Easy to install by inserting firmly into the ground, or simply wedging between two solid surfaces

Installation: Features a spike on the bottom of the bird to be installed into lawn, ground or pot plants. If you want to install it into a fence post as pictured, we recommend cutting a slot into the post first so as not to damage the bird when it's hammered in.

Our birds are designed with 3mm CorTen steel to form a protective patina that deepens and strengthens with the seasons. This patina will deepen in shade over the years until it reaches a deep brown/charcoal black hue.

This self-sealing aspect of CorTen steel provides a quality guarantee of up to 100 years, ensuring that our product lasts a lifetime and remains completely corrosion resistent.

What might initially resemble generic rust is simply the air and water-tight patina forming over a six month period, so don’t panic! Your Metalbird is doing exactly what it’s been designed to do, and this patina will protect the steel from any further damage and disintegration.

CorTen steel does not require any treatments, oils or chemical additives and is therefore extremely environmentally friendly.

We have a flat $14.99 to most states across Australia plus free shipping when you spend over $150. We’ve done our best to keep shipping simple, but with rates climbing, a delivery fee of AUD$19.99 applies to some of our more distant locations. We don't offer international shipping from Australia however check out our other Metalbird stores in New Zealand, USA, Canada, UK and Europe for more local shipping options — Anywhere else in the world, head to metalbird.com!

MADE FROM PREMIUM CORTEN STEEL

Corten Steel or ‘Weathering Steel’ is used in high-end exterior architecture, for good reason. Exposed to the elements, within weeks it develops a patina that seals the steel and preserves it for decades. It also leaves a beautiful even colouring that will get darker over the years.
