All the Long-tailed Tit parties break up in spring when the birds pair off for the breeding season, starting with some hard-out nest building. Nests often take more than 3 weeks to create and no wonder – we’re talking World of Interiors-level nests, involving up to 2,000 feathers plus moss, hair, cobwebs and a camouflage of lichen. Many of these brilliant nests are lost to predators before the chicks hatch but the Long-tailed Tit simply goes off to help another pair feed and rear their chicks. Put this mother and chick up to remind you what total good sorts they are!

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
