Whiskey Jack / Canada Jay
The Canada Jay goes by a few aliases – Gray Jay, Camp Robber or as we know the Whiskey Jack. Camp Robber, because it’s not above breaking into campsites and cabins to steal food – we hate to think how they got the name Whiskey Jack! They have sticky saliva that they use to stick food in bark crevices and other spots to get them through winter. It also gets through the cold months with a tasty bit of carrion from kills left by wolves or other predators. We reckon this tough little survivor deserves a nice spot in your garden.

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.
