Metalbird - Magpie on the fly

Well, look who's spreading their wings.

Our much-loved Magpie has taken to the skies, and he's making quite the entrance. Same unmistakable black-and-white feathers, same cheeky character, only this time he's swapped sitting around for showing off his wingspan.

Known for their intelligence, curiosity and rather impressive vocal talents, Magpies are some of the most recognisable characters in the bird world. They're clever, confident and never shy about making their presence known. And with those striking black-and-white markings, they've always had a bit of natural flair.

Now we've captured that character in full flight, bringing a little movement, personality and wild beauty to your backyard.

Same cheeky character. A whole new altitude.

Metalbirds are made from Corten® which is designed to rust. This gives them long term protection against the elements, and a beautiful patina that shifts with the season. This means paint won’t stay on for long. If you want to add colour to them, then we recommend having them professionally powder coated. It's easily hammered into most wooden structures and will rust to a deep brown. The hammering of a steel ‘peg’ into a tree will not do any damage to it. It may cause the tree to lose some sap in the short term but will not do any medium or long term damage to it.
