Description

To kick off breeding season, male Tūī gather in circles to out-sing each other in showy "song battles" — and with two voice boxes each, it's like the NZSO of birdsong. Female Tūī watch on, selecting the best performer while enjoying their unique high-frequency courtship song, "the trill."

Whether you're gifting to a bird-loving couple, marking an anniversary, or just want a meaningful symbol of love in your backyard, our Tūī Twosome is a bold, romantic choice that celebrates native wildlife and connection.

Make some noise with this show-stopper in your garden.

  1. Choose a sturdy wooden post, tree, or fence as your stage.
  2. Hold your Tūī Twosome at a downwards angle to ensure the stake goes in cleanly.
  3. Tap the thickest end of the stake with a hammer or mallet until secure.
  4. Adjust slightly to get the best silhouette against your background.
  5. If installing into hardwood, consider pre-drilling a small guide hole.
  6. Stand back and let the duet begin.

Top Tip: Position near flowering flax or ferns to attract real Tūī for a double delight.

What is the Tūī Twosome made from?
Crafted from 3mm premium Corten® weathering steel, which develops a beautiful, protective rust-like patina over time. It’s made to last a lifetime outdoors.

Do real Tūī sing together like this?
They do! Males compete in elaborate vocal displays, while females observe. The duet represents connection, charisma, and the playful nature of these native birds.

Is this a good anniversary gift?
Absolutely — it’s a meaningful and enduring symbol of partnership, love, and natural beauty. Perfect for weddings, anniversaries, or garden-loving couples.

Can I install this on a post or fence?
Yes! It’s designed for versatile installation — into the ground, a tree trunk, fence rail, or even wedged between wooden beams. Just use a downward angle when hammering.

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.
