Drum roll please…here it is…Battle of the Birds winner 2021…Snowy Owl! Standing nearly half a metre tall in its feathery socks, the powerful snowy owl gobbles up to 12 mice-like lemmings a day, often with a side of fox or seabird. A sudden boom in the number of “snowies” migrating south is called an ‘irruption’. In the winter of 2018, to the great joy of local bird-watchers, there was an irruption in Toronto, where they’re rarely seen. Harry Potter’s female owl Hedwig is played by male snowy owls. Why? Only the males are completely white.
Our Snowy Owl 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.
