Black Robin
Description
A silhouette of survival and song.
The Chatham Island Black Robin is one of Aotearoa’s greatest conservation success stories. Once reduced to a single fertile female, this tiny round songbird came back from the brink — and now, just a few hundred remain in the wild. This silhouette honours that near-miracle. It’s a tribute to resilience, hope, and the people who never gave up.
Crafted from 3mm Corten® steel, it’s built to last and weather beautifully over time. Whether gifted to a nature-lover or installed in your own backyard, this piece brings meaning and presence to any space.
✓ Endangered and iconic... A tribute to one of NZ’s rarest native birds
✓ Striking in silhouette... Measures 12cm high x 31cm wide, approx. 300g
✓ NZ-made quality... Designed and cut in a local, family-run workshop
✓ Made from Corten® steel... Develops a protective weathered finish outdoors
✓ Perfect for gifting... Ships flat in our A4 box (31cm x 21cm x 1cm)
✓ Fast dispatch... Same-day shipping on weekday orders before 2pm
✓ Ready to install... Just tap it in with a hammer — easy, secure, and satisfying
Style With
Black Robin
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.
what’s the word on the bird?

It’s a gift, a robin for a Robyn, yet to be received. She’s going gonna love it.
Raewyn The Black Robin is delightful, our grandson gave us for Xmas a wee owl and small fantail, which we just love. When I ordered the robin I presumed it would be a small one, didn’t check the size! Have a home for it anyway but would love a tiny black robin too. Do you make a wee one. .
Black robin Excellent service and my friend loves her robin. Thanks
Love it Absolutely love it - thanks
Awesome Christmas present My parents loved their gift and now have a Chatham Island robin in the garden, reminding them of their time living in the Chathams. Such an awesome concept.
Love all my metalbirds
Really sweet. Maybe not as effective as the other birds due to not as much possible cut-outs
My mum is going to love this!

Black Robin You’ve got to find the perfect spot for your metal bird, but when you do they are awesome. Just don’t knock them in to hard when you’re experimenting with the spot, they aren’t designed to come back out :)
Black Robin Thank you so much - am very happy with my little Metalbird.
Black Robin Super easy to install and looks great mounted on my 'totem' pole. I'll be back for another puchase 👍
