Turtle Dove
A timeless symbol of peace, love, and hope.
The Turtle Dove has charmed us for centuries — from classic Christmas carols and Shakespearean poetry to the soft turr-turr coo drifting from summer hedgerows. A bird wrapped in meaning, it represents everything we need more of at this time of year: connection, calm, and care. Whether you're celebrating Christmas, honouring someone special, or just want to bring a little serenity to your garden, this beautifully crafted silhouette is a soulful choice.

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.
