Description

Two sky‑arrows, always mid‑swoop.

Barn Swallows are the world’s great commuters—skimming fields and lakes on scissored tails, then crossing oceans like it’s a quick errand. Our Pair of Swallows captures that speed and lightness in weathering steel, so even a still day feels airborne. Install them together for a duet over a garden bed, or split them to frame a path. Either way, the long forked tails and crisp profiles read beautifully from across the yard.

✓ Graceful profiles... deeply forked tails signal Barn Swallow at a glance
✓ Statement size... 8.6" × 6.5" (22 × 17 cm), approx. 8 oz (227 g)
✓ Premium Corten... 1/8‑inch (3 mm) steel built for the elements
✓ Flexible layout... mount as a pair or stage separately
✓ Low‑maintenance... self‑sealing patina; no repainting ever

Stage a clean, convincing flight path.

Pick open sky – a bright backdrop makes the forked tails pop.
Angle for motion – a subtle forward lean suggests speed.
Seat each stake – tap the thick end with firm, even blows.
Space with intent – 8–18 in (20–45 cm) apart keeps lines clear.
Mind the windows – avoid large panes or add decals to cut reflections.

Top Tip: Over water or pale stone, a soft evening backlight turns the pair into a moving mural.

Why Barn Swallows specifically?
The long, deeply forked tails and streamlined bodies are unmistakable and read beautifully in silhouette.

Can I install them facing each other?
Yes—angle toward one another to suggest a playful chase, or in the same direction for a formation feel.

Will fresh patina stain patios?
Early runoff can lightly mark pale stone. Install over soil/mulch or seal masonry if needed.

How do I place them safely for birds?
Keep clear of large windows or use anti‑collision decals; mount at or above eye height near open air.

Do they need any upkeep?
No. A quick dust or rinse is enough—the weathering finish protects the steel.

AS SEEN IN

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.
