To kick off the breeding season, male Tūī perch in circles to out-sing each other in ‘song battles’ – and with two voice boxes each we’re talking the NZSO of birdsong, here – while females sit on the outside waiting to be impressed. They also perform ‘the trill’, a special high-frequency sexy song which the females apparently find a complete turn-on. Want a symbol of love for your garden? Two Tūī, Tūī-gether forever, oughta do it.

Our Tūī Twosome is:

✓ 26.5cm high by 46cm wide approximately 450g
✓ Easy to send our Large boxes measure 39cm x 34 cm x 1cm, designed to fit in a postal mailer
✓ Made locally in a family-owned factory, right here in NZ
✓ Crafted from 3mm Corten steel and designed to last a lifetime
✓ 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.
