Kererū Pair
MEET THE BIRD
A proper pair.
Two kererū sit together on a leafy branch, their broad shapes picked out in steel. There is something quietly lovely about having a pair outside the window. Give Kererū Pair to mark an anniversary or a new home, or choose them for the corner of the garden where you like to sit together.
MADE FOR OUTDOORS
Steel that changes with the seasons
Corten is weathering steel. Its grey surface changes through orange and brown tones outdoors as a natural rust patina develops. Each setting leaves its own mark, so colour and timing vary. Allow water to drain and keep rusty runoff away from pale stone, walls and other surfaces that could stain.
INSTALLATION
Choose a perch. Tap it in.
Choose sound, solid wood with space around the silhouette. Hold the branch securely, angle the mounting spike slightly downward and tap the thick end with a hammer or mallet until steady. Hard wood may need a pilot hole. Wear gloves and eye protection, and keep the pointed spike away from children. A fence post or timber planter is a useful alternative to a living tree.
READY TO GIVE
A small box with someone in mind.
Your steel bird arrives flat-packed in Metalbird gift packaging. A small box for someone you have in mind, ready for them to choose a perch.

Frequently asked questions
What is it made from?
3 mm Corten weathering steel, cut and made in New Zealand.
Will it rust or stain?
Yes. Natural rust patina is part of Corten steel. Runoff can stain nearby surfaces, especially while weathering; choose the location with that in mind.
How big is it?
28 cm high × 42 cm wide; approximately 300 g.
How do I install it?
Choose sound, solid wood with space around the silhouette. Hold the branch securely, angle the mounting spike slightly downward and tap the thick end with a hammer or mallet until steady. Hard wood may need a pilot hole. Wear gloves and eye protection, and keep the pointed spike away from children. A fence post or timber planter is a useful alternative to a living tree.
Do I have to use a tree?
No. Use sound timber such as a fence post or wooden planter. If you prefer a living tree, consult the tree-care guidance in our Help Centre and choose the site carefully; no tree-safety guarantee is implied.

Beautiful kereru adorn the garden. Our garden is planted for the birds. So these guys are truly welcome and look fabulous.
We have two they look great we are very pleased
Purchased as a birthday gift. Was great to be able to send a message in a card, with the birds, directly to the recipient. Great products and absolutely loved by the new owners. Will certainly be buying more as gifts for others, but also some to add to the ones we already have in our garden.
We got Kererus here in our garden (see photo) but the pair we bought recently are flying with us to Germany at the end of this week
A lovely pair We received this lovely pair as a wedding anniversary gift. They look great sitting perched on the deck overlooking Taupo. A truly New Zealand gift.
Simply stunning, get to see the sunset as a back drop. Get lots, we have six so cool.
Looks great on the shed. Thanks so much.
Love Birds Our Kereru look fantastic perched in our Tanekaha. It was our 45th anniversary present to each other.
Absolutely Beautiful The couple woodpigeon are lovely. My in-laws loved it! They put it straight into one of their trees and they can see it straight from their lounge. It was a quality product and would definitely recommend and purchase one again.
Kereru Pair I gave the Kereru pair to my son for his birthday.They are now in a tree in his garden.He was thrilled with them.
Love our Metalbirds!
i haven't yet gifted the Kereru to my daughter (wedding present) so can't show photos and the Kiwi is not yet displayed; however i have a Tui in the backyard so i know they will look brilliant! Cheers
Very pretty, easy to install
Arrived so quickly and the kereru are just gorgeous - so intimate and yet stately. They’re flying off to their new home in the north this weekend.
Thank you for the purchase of 3 items. They are rally cool. I comment I would have is the Kereru pair turned up as a pair of tui. I am still happy though.

The kereru pair met my hopes. Husband loved them and looking for the right spot as we don't have a tree out back. Someone would Nick them if we put them on the pohutukawa at the front!

My recent 2 orders made it to their destination in Australia in time for Christmas. They are not opened yet. Awaiting Christmas Day. But our many metal native birds are throughout our garden, which is a native bird sanctuary. We have metalbird single and pairs of Kereru, Tui, Piwakawaka, Ruru, kotare in the garden. BEAUTIFUL!
