Metalbird started as an Art Project and turned into gift ware. We LOVE these cool Metalbird silhouettes!

The idea of metal birds came from wanting to do something the artist could covertly hammer into lamp posts, trees and buildings in public spaces that would somehow beautify and add value, or at least not offend.

Phil, the artist, 'placed' around 40 Metalbird silhouettes in the field around the North Island over Xmas 2011. It turns out that not only did they not offend, actually people wanted them both for their gardens and houses and their own 'public installations'.

Make someone happy with an original Metalbird artwork!
