Cardinal
A blaze of red in the garden.
The Cardinal is one of the most recognised and loved birds in North America. Its plumage glows scarlet against snow or spring foliage, and its cheerful calls of “cheer, cheer, cheer” brighten neighbourhoods across Southeastern Canada. Cardinals are also prolific parents, raising brood after brood each year—a reminder of resilience and renewal.
Our silhouette captures this fiery bird mid-song. Placed in a garden, it becomes a symbol of joy, remembrance, and love. Many see Cardinals as messengers from loved ones passed, making this piece a beautiful memorial gift as well as striking décor.

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.
