MetalBird Kererū Pair Garden Art
Often heard, rarely seen, it’s very hard to get a close encounter with aRuru. It hangs out in dense forests, singing out its English name –more-pork. Silent flight is one of its superpowers along with the ability torotate its neck 270 degrees, not to be creepy but to look for prey like moths,beetles, mice and lizards. Ruru’s big shining yellow eyes play an importantpart in Maori mythology and tradition. It’ll look amazing in your backyardespecially with the full moon behind it.

Our birds are designed with 3mm CorTen steel to form a protective patina thatdeepens and strengthens with the seasons. This patina will deepen in shade overthe years until it reaches a deep brown/charcoal black hue.
This self-sealing aspect of CorTen steel provides a quality guarantee of upto 100 years, ensuring that our product lasts a lifetime and remains completelycorrosion resistent.
What might initially resemble generic rust is simply the air and water-tightpatina forming over a six month period, so don’t panic! Your Metalbird isdoing exactly what it’s been designed to do, and this patina will protect thesteel from any further damage and disintegration.
CorTen steel does not require any treatments, oils or chemical additives andis therefore extremely environmentally friendly.
