Timeless Piece of Art
Supports Bird Conservation
As Seen In
With its long beak, white-barred wings and namesake tail, the black-tailed godwit loves to feed with flocks of friends, probing the mud for unlucky invertebrates. Black-tailed godwits form monogamous pairs that can last for 25 years. Every year, couples arrive at their breeding grounds within three days of each other to mate and raise chicks together. But life isn’t all love and roses for the BTG - habitat loss has meant the world population is in serious decline. Let our metal version be a permanent reminder of this distinctive bird.
Our Black-Tailed Godwit is:
- 45cm high by 37cm wide (including the branch/spike)
- Easily installed with the tap of a hammer (pre-drill hard wood)
- Crafted in 3mm Corten® 'weathering' Steel to form a beautiful patina that changes with the seasons
- The perfect gift for a couple who has been together forever

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.
All of our birds are dispatched with GLS. However, depending on your destination, this can be handed off to a local courier once it.

MADE FROM PREMIUM CORTEN STEEL
