Amazing in so many ways, the bright orange-crested, zebra-striped eurasian hoopoe has a beak so strong it can plunge into the ground to get at insects and becomes a savage weapon when it needs to fight. In the breeding season the female oozes a thick brown liquid from under her tail feathers that smells like rotting meat. She coats her feathers in this lovely stuff to make them more flexible and waterproof. You’ll be glad to know we left that feature off our Metalbird hoopoe.
Our Eurasian Hoopoe is:
- 30cm high by 27cm 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 someone fabulous in your life

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
