This will look fabulous attached to the side of our solar panel array. Hopefully it might scare other birds away from making a mess of the panels! (Not in position quite yet as we've just had the panels installed) Metalbird products are beautiful and very realistic and look great when in position.....we already have some up and people comment on how nice they look.

Style With
Kārearea: Wings of Glory
Wings out. Eyes on the next move.
The hooked beak, open wings and cutout feathers make Kārearea: Wings of Glory hard to overlook. This steel falcon brings the feeling of a bird in motion to a sturdy timber perch. Give it some sky behind those wings and let the silhouette do the talking.
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.
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.
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?
29 cm high × 48.5 cm wide, including the mounting spike; approximately 1 kg.
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.
What comes with it?
One connected steel silhouette with integrated mounting spike and gift packaging. Hammer or mallet not included.
Can I return it?
Request a return within 30 days of delivery. Keep it unused, uninstalled and in original condition, without weathering, patina or marks. Contact [email protected] first; return postage is yours unless Metalbird made a mistake.
