You’ve got to be on your toes when you’re an insectivore. That’s why when you’re walking in the bush or turning over the soil in the garden, Piwakawaka is there, with a cheery ‘cheet cheet’, constantly flitting to catch the tiny bugs you’re serving on a plate. Its pretty fanned tail gives them amazing acrobatic abilities, like changing direction on the spot and flipping upside down nab a bug under a leaf. Get this much-loved bird for your backyard.

• 36.5cm high by 34cm wide approximately 450g
• Made locally in a family-owned factory, right here in NZ
• Easy to install holding on a downwards angle simply tap the thickest end of the stake with a hammer or mallet until secure 
• Our birds are designed with 3mm CorTen steel to form a protective patina that deepens and strengthens with the seasons. This patina will deepen in shade over the years until it reaches a deep brown/charcoal black hue.
• This self-sealing aspect of CorTen steel provides a quality guarantee of up to 100 years, ensuring that our product lasts a lifetime and remains completely corrosion resistent.
• What might initially resemble generic rust is simply the air and water-tight patina forming over a six month period, so don’t panic! Your Metalbird is doing exactly what it’s been designed to do, and this patina will protect the steel from any further damage and disintegration.
• CorTen steel does not require any treatments, oils or chemical additives and is therefore extremely environmentally friendly.
