Description

There is nothing “less” about the Lesser Florican. This lively bird found only in India makes Cher seem mild and drab by comparison (they actually have remarkably similar energy.) The Lesser Florican has extraordinary black ribbon-like feathers that adorn its head, designed to twirl and bounce as it performs an even more astounding courtship dance. Known for leaping, frolicking, and strutting its way across the grasslands, the Lesser Florican is a shining example of the vibrancy and eccentricity of our planet's birdlife. Sadly, fewer than 500 remain on the planet, so by purchasing this Lesser Florican, you’re making a genuine difference to birds that need your help. 

The perfect gift for wild dancers, over-the-top individuals, or just someone who wants to make a difference. 

Birdlife International’s programme Preventing Extinctions is solely devoted to the protection and conservation of critically endangered birds like this one. 30% of the proceeds from this Metalbird go directly to BirdLife International’s Preventing Extinctions programme, so they can do their selfless and valuable work.

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.

what’s the word on the bird?
