Description

Three iconic birds. One beautifully giftable bundle.
Our Baby Bird Bundle brings together a trio of New Zealand’s favourite native birds — the melodic Tūī, the cheeky Pīwakawaka (fantail), and the wise Ruru (morepork) — in adorable mini form. Whether you’re filling stockings, thanking a teacher, or giving someone a little surprise for their letterbox garden, these tiny metal bird silhouettes pack real meaning into small shapes.

Each bird arrives in its own envelope, making this bundle perfect for breaking up into separate gifts... or keeping all to yourself. Crafted in NZ from weathering Corten® steel, they’ll develop a rich patina over time — just like their full-sized cousins.

✓ Three meaningful gifts in one... Tūī, Pīwakawaka, and Ruru mini silhouettes
✓ Small but full of character... Each approx. 10cm x 15cm, total bundle approx. 300g
✓ Gift-ready packaging... Ships in a compact A5 box (14.5cm x 11cm x 2.5cm)
✓ Made in New Zealand... Manufactured locally in a family-owned workshop
✓ Built to endure outdoors... Crafted from 3mm Corten® steel for lasting beauty
✓ Same-day dispatch... On all weekday orders placed before 2pm
✓ Simple install... Tap the stake into a tree or post with a hammer or mallet — too easy

These minis are made to pop up in playful spots — peeking out from a raised garden bed, perched beside the mailbox, or flanking the front steps.

1. Choose a spot with a bit of character — a gate post, garden path edge, or timber planter box
2. Hold each bird steady with the stake angled slightly into the wood or soil
3. Tap the thickest part of the stake with a hammer or mallet until it’s secure
4. Step back and enjoy — a little bit of native magic in your everyday

Top Tip: Place one near your herbs, one by the letterbox, and one along a path. They love being discovered in unexpected places.

Can I break the bundle into separate gifts?
Yes — each mini bird comes in its own envelope, so you can gift them individually or as a trio.

What do the three birds represent?
Tūī are clever mimics, Pīwakawaka are playful and curious, and Ruru symbolise wisdom. Each one brings its own vibe to your space.

Will these birds rust?
They’ll develop a protective rust-like finish over time — that’s the magic of Corten® steel. It looks better with age, just like a good birdwatcher.

Are they good for balconies or small gardens?
Absolutely. These minis were made for compact spaces — tuck them into pots, edge planters, or sneak them into your balcony railing.

Is this a good gift for nature lovers?
100%. It’s thoughtful, unique, and supports local making. A little piece of native Aotearoa that lasts a lifetime.

AS SEEN IN

Each Metalbird is crafted from Corten® Steel, a premium, weathering steel made to last.

When it meets the elements, it doesn’t rust like your old BBQ. It transforms.

That change you’re seeing? That’s patina. A tough, protective outer layer that seals the steel, adds character, and preserves your bird for decades.

This isn’t paint. It’s nature’s way of ageing gracefully.

The Patina Process:

At first, you’ll notice bright orange spots (we call this the teenage phase). Soon enough, the whole bird will turn a bold orange, slowly shifting into deep burnt umber. Eventually, it settles into a moody charcoal that feels like it’s always belonged.

The Result? A piece of industrial art with a heartbeat. No peeling, no fading, just a bird that gets better with age.
