With its black-and-white chequered back, glossy black head and white necklace, the common loon, provincial bird of Ontario, is uncommonly good-looking. This bird walks on water, literally – it can run several hundred metres on a calm lake before getting up the speed to take off. With the help of its very unbird-like solid bones, the Common Loon can dive to depths of 80 metres in search of food. Celebrated on the dollar ‘loonie’ coin and ready to take pride of place at your place, we hope you love our tribute to the Common Loon.

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.
