Description

A quiet emblem of peace that stays all season.

From carols to Shakespeare, the Turtle Dove has long stood for love, fidelity, and reconciliation. Our silhouette keeps that meaning close to home—perched on a fence post, nestled among evergreens, or watching from the porch through winter light. Precision‑cut from weathering Corten steel, it develops a warm, protective patina that suits snow, cedar, and stone. Whether you’re marking the holidays, a wedding, or a moment of remembrance, this dove reads gentle and true every day.

Set your dove where welcomes happen.

  1. Choose the backdropevergreens or light siding make the outline glow.
  2. Hold at a gentle tilt – a slight downward angle feels lifelike and seats firmly.

  4. Tap the thick endshort, controlled blows until the stake bites.
  5. Check the sightlineface toward the approach or window you use most.

What does the Turtle Dove symbolise?
Peace, devotion, and reconciliation—making it ideal for holidays, weddings, or quiet memorials.

Will the finish survive Canadian winters?
Yes. Corten steel forms a protective patina that’s made for freeze‑thaw, snow, and rain.

Any placement dos and don’ts?
Choose solid timber or dense posts; avoid rotten wood. Keep clear of large windows or add decals to reduce collisions.

Will patina mark pale stone?
Early weathering can leave light residue. Install over soil/mulch or seal nearby masonry if you’re particular.

Good gift idea?
Absolutely—thoughtful for hosts, newlyweds, or anyone who loves meaningful 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.
