Metal Bird Tui

Tūī are more than just beautiful. With their dual voice boxes and head-bopping antics, they’re the punk rockers of the native bird world. In Maori culture, they’ve long been considered messengers and bringers of vitality. Whether you’re giving this as a housewarming gift, marking a moment of personal growth, or simply upgrading your backyard with iconic NZ flair, this sculpture hits the mark.

Crafted from 3mm Corten steel in a family-run New Zealand factory, it’s built to weather anything the seasons throw at it... forming a rich, protective patina over time. Installing it is as easy as holding it on a downward angle and tapping the stake into a post or tree with a hammer.

This Tūī isn’t just garden decor... it’s your invitation to join the Metalbird Global Art Project: a worldwide celebration of memory, place, and connection.
