Quail
A dapper little globe with a jaunty plume.
Meet the California Quail—round as a pebble, head crowned with a forward‑curled feather, and famous for that “chi‑ca‑go!” call. Our silhouette leans into the patterning and posture that make quail so lovable. Stage it in a gravel bed, raised planter, or among grasses and you’ll swear you’ve got a covey nearby. Cut from Corten steel, it settles into a warm patina that flatters desert palettes and lush borders alike.

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.
