Timeless Piece of Art
Supports Bird Conservation
The Swift Parrot is one of our few truly migratory birds. Their population numbers have been on a perilous decline for decades and are now considered critically endangered. The ‘Swifties’ are waiting for you to join them in their fight against extinction. They need our help now more than ever before, so that one day they can fly free again!
Swift Parrots are incredible birds. Every year they undertake an epic migration from the Tasmanian forests in which they nest. Flying across Bass Strait, they follow the flowering eucalyptus across south-eastern Australia to feed on the nectar they produce. Now, the biggest threat is the destruction of their woodland habitat, with the latest research estimating their effective population could be as few as 300 birds.
In partnership with BirdLife Australia, we are supporting their conservation efforts by donating 10% of sales from each Metalbird sold from our BirdLife Australia collection. BirdLIfe Australia is working with local communities to restore and regenerate the woodlands the Swift Parrot and many other endangered birds rely on for their food.
Material: 3mm Corten steel designed to rust and age beautifully over time.
Size: 29.8cm x 20cm
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.

MADE FROM PREMIUM CORTEN STEEL
