Description

Two sky‑arrows, always mid‑swoop.

Barn Swallows are the world’s great commuters—skimming fields and lakes on scissored tails, then crossing oceans like it’s a quick errand. Our Pair of Swallows captures that speed and lightness in weathering steel, so even a still day feels airborne. Install them together for a duet over a garden bed, or split them to frame a path. Either way, the long forked tails and crisp profiles read beautifully from across the yard.

Graceful profiles... deeply forked tails signal Barn Swallow at a glance
Statement size... 8.6" × 6.5" (22 × 17 cm), approx. 8 oz (227 g)
Premium Corten... 1/8‑inch (3 mm) steel built for the elements
Flexible layout... mount as a pair or stage separately
Low‑maintenance... self‑sealing patina; no repainting ever

Stage a clean, convincing flight path.

  1. Pick open sky – a bright backdrop makes the forked tails pop.
  2. Angle for motion – a subtle forward lean suggests speed.
  3. Seat each staketap the thick end with firm, even blows.
  4. Space with intent8–18 in (20–45 cm) apart keeps lines clear.
  5. Mind the windows – avoid large panes or add decals to cut reflections.

Top Tip: Over water or pale stone, a soft evening backlight turns the pair into a moving mural.

Why Barn Swallows specifically?
The long, deeply forked tails and streamlined bodies are unmistakable and read beautifully in silhouette.

Can I install them facing each other?
Yes—angle toward one another to suggest a playful chase, or in the same direction for a formation feel.

Will fresh patina stain patios?
Early runoff can lightly mark pale stone. Install over soil/mulch or seal masonry if needed.

How do I place them safely for birds?
Keep clear of large windows or use anti‑collision decals; mount at or above eye height near open air.

Do they need any upkeep?
No. A quick dust or rinse is enough—the weathering finish protects the steel.

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.
