The King of fishers! The Belted Kingfisher uses amazing aqua-batics to catch their prey – hovering above the water on rapidly beating wings, then diving headfirst in pursuit of fish and crayfish. You’ll see their distinctive large-headed, big-billed profile up and down the rivers and shorelines they patrol across North America. So iconic, the Belted Kingfisher even graced a 1980s Canadian $5 note. Also, these guys are ancient – Pleistocene Belted Kingfisher fossils (600,000 years old) have been unearthed. Our Metalbird Kingfisher would look very fine overlooking any stretch of water – or even a birdbath.
Our Belted Kingfisher is:
Our birds are designed with 1/8-inch CorTen steel to form a protective patina that deepens and strengthens with the seasons. This patina will deepen in shade over the years until it reaches a deep brown/charcoal black hue.
This self-sealing aspect of CorTen steel provides a quality guarantee of up to 100 years, ensuring that our product lasts a lifetime and remains completely corrosion resistent.
What might initially resemble generic rust is simply the air and water-tight patina forming over a six month period, so don’t panic! Your Metalbird is doing exactly what it’s been designed to do, and this patina will protect the steel from any further damage and disintegration.
CorTen steel does not require any treatments, oils or chemical additives and is therefore extremely environmentally friendly.

Over the years we’ve tried everything in our quest to find the perfect Metalbird material and believe Corten Steel is it. Corten Steel or ‘Weathering Steel’ is used in high-end exterior architecture, for good reason. Exposed to the elements, within weeks it develops a patina that seals the steel and preserves it for decades. It also leaves a beautiful even coloring that will get darker over the years.
