As Seen In
It’s the bird made famous by the clock and an absolute classic of the European countryside. Celebrated for its call but not for its manners, the cuckoo is a brood parasite – she drops her egg into the nest of a smaller bird then heads off to do something more fun. The cuckoo chick is no better than the mother – when it hatches, it’ll often push the original eggs out of the nest, till it’s the only chick left. We guarantee your Metalbird cuckoo will be better behaved.

Our birds are designed with 3mm 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.

MADE FROM PREMIUM CORTEN STEEL
