A moment of wild wonder, frozen in steel.

These three hungry Blue Wren chicks are caught in one of the sweetest sights in nature — craning their tiny necks for food as mum lands nearby. What most people don’t know? A mother wren actually sings to her eggs before they hatch. That song teaches them how to beg for food — before they’ve even cracked their shells. Nature doesn’t muck around.

This silhouette brings that wild, clever beauty into your own backyard — a celebration of motherhood, native life, and the power of connection.

Captures real-life bird behaviour... inspired by true Fairywren parenting
Compact and full of charm... 19cm high × 27cm wide, approx. 300g
Quick to arrive... same-day dispatch on weekday orders before 2pm
Made in Australia... crafted in a local, family-run workshop
Built for the long haul... 3mm Corten® steel develops a rich patina outdoors
Easy to plant... designed to tap securely into timber or garden beds

Whether you're gifting it to Mum or giving it pride of place in your own garden, this is a piece that holds more than beauty — it holds a story.

Built for a perch that feels like home.

1. Choose somewhere soft underfoot — garden beds or raised planters work beautifully.
2. Angle slightly forward so the chicks look like they’re reaching up for mum.
3. Tap in gently using a hammer or mallet on the thickest part of the stake.
4. Want it higher? Try a fence post or rail — just pre-drill a narrow slot.
5. Let it live where life is happening — somewhere you’ll see it often, and smile.

Top Tip: If you’re giving it as a gift, pre-select the perfect installation spot with the recipient — it becomes a moment shared.

Do wrens really sing to their eggs?
They do! Female Superb Fairywrens sing a unique “teaching call” to their unhatched chicks — helping them recognise mum’s voice and beg for food after hatching.

Can I install this in a pot?
Yes — a wide planter box or deep pot works well. The stake just needs solid ground or timber for support.

Is this piece weatherproof?
Absolutely. Made from 3mm Corten® steel, it’s designed to patina and protect itself as it weathers.

Is it a good Mother’s Day gift?
It’s one of our most meaningful — a tender tribute to nurture, patience, and love. Customers often say it becomes a daily reminder of someone they adore.

Will the chicks rust?
Not exactly. They develop a natural rust-coloured patina — part of the material’s charm and durability. No flakes, no fuss.

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.
