Description

The night hunter with a heart-shaped face.

Few birds capture the imagination like the Barn Owl. With its pale feathers, ghostly glide, and that eerie, unforgettable screech, it feels like something out of folklore. But this bird is more than mystery. Its white heart-shaped face is a finely tuned hunting tool, funnelling the faintest sounds of mice in the grass into ears that can detect movement no human could. Add in its silent wings, night vision, and long legs, and you’ve got nature’s perfect predator.

Our Barn Owl silhouette freezes this moment of quiet power and lets you bring it home. Installed in your garden, it becomes a symbol of wisdom, wildness, and beauty. It’s a meaningful gift for anyone who loves owls, night skies, or simply wants to add something unforgettable to their space.

      How to install your Barn Owl

      1. Pick the setting – owls love perches with a view, so choose a post or branch where it feels natural.
      2. Hold on a downward angle – tilt the silhouette to mimic the Barn Owl’s hunting stance.
      3. Set the stake – line up the thick end of the stake with the surface.
      4. Hammer gently – use a hammer or mallet, tapping until secure.
      5. Check the position – adjust so it looks poised and commanding.

      Top Tip: Place your Barn Owl where it catches the moonlight—at dusk it’ll glow just like the real thing.

      Why is the Barn Owl’s face heart-shaped?
      The unique facial disc funnels sound toward its ears, letting it hear prey even in complete darkness.

      Does the Barn Owl hoot?
      No. Unlike other owls, Barn Owls make an eerie screech rather than the classic “hoo.”

      How long will this last outside?
      Made from Corten steel, it forms a natural patina, ensuring it will withstand Canadian winters for years.

      Is it a good gift?
      Yes—whether for owl lovers, gardeners, or as a memorial, it makes a powerful and lasting present.

      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.
