Description

A tiny sentinel with a big presence.

Our Mini Owl brings a calm, watchful note to planters and posts. By day it’s quietly sculptural; by night a soft backlight turns it into a glowing guardian. Cut from Corten steel, it gradually deepens to a rich patina that looks at home with grasses, ferns, and night‑blooming flowers.

Compact & charming... 4" × 2" (10 × 5 cm), approx. 3.5 oz (100 g)
Premium steel... 11‑gauge (~3 mm) Corten for longevity
Gift‑easy... A6 envelope, perfect for posting
Lighting‑friendly... silhouette pops with a small solar uplight
No‑upkeep finish... patina protects naturally

Perch your owl like it owns the night

  1. Choose height – eye‑level posts or tall planters read best.
  2. Angle slightly down – the hunting pose feels natural and secure.
  3. Tap to fix – seat the thick end with gentle hammer taps.
  4. Light it softly – a warm solar up‑light creates an evening halo.

Top Tip: Install near grasses—the movement adds a lifelike scene after dark in the moonlight or by torchlight.

Is balcony installation okay?
Yes—use a heavy pot or wood block base for a confident bite in windy spots.

Will it harm trees?
Prefer posts or deadwood. If using a living tree, tap shallowly and avoid young bark.

Does it need varnish?
No—Corten’s patina is the protective finish.

How do I clean it?
Occasional dusting or a gentle rinse is plenty; avoid harsh chemicals.

Is it a good night‑garden accent?
Absolutely—the silhouette loves low, warm lighting and twilight colour.

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.
