The Majestic Bald Eagle
The Bald Eagle flying overhead, emitting a rough, piercing scream is a classic image. The only problem? They don't make that sound. Also, not bald, but with a head of fine white feathers. Hard to believe, but Canada’s largest bird of prey was once nearly wiped out by humans using DDT or shooting them as pests or trophies. Did you know that when a Bald Eagle loses a feather on one wing, it will lose a feather on the other to keep perfect balance? What a finely tuned machine, deserving of a special spot at your place.

Metalbird is a Sustainable Company
Metalbird wants to give you a more detailed understanding of their stance on sustainability, and why it’s so important to them, as a business and as individuals.
See, they don’t think it’s fair to create bird silhouettes inspired by real native birds, at the cost of their environment. They also believe that every business, big and small, has a responsibility towards the earth. So they work hard to ensure our business practices are top notch, environmentally, ethically and where sustainability is concerned.
To start with, they make and ship locally. Their Corten®️ Steel has over 70% recycled content, and all scrap steel from their manufacturing process is recycled. On top of that, their packaging is made from recycled cardboard with biodegradable inks, designed to be recycled again and again.
Bird Conservation
Birds are universally beloved, and heavily symbolic to many. It’s a sad fact, however, that their environments have been decimated and many bird populations are rapidly dwindling. As a business that profits from the mere existence of birds, it’s only right that we work equally hard at protecting, nurturing and championing them.
Metalbird does this by supporting bird conservations all over the world, raising money, releasing limited edition birds and donating the profits, raising awareness and sometimes even rolling up our own damn sleeves and planting some native trees.
Here’s a slice of what M been up to in the last few years:
- We help New Zealand's Forest & Bird do their urgent protection work.
- We support the conservation work of Ducks Unlimited Canada.
- We helped Birdlife Australia in the wake of the devastating bushfires.
- We drew attention to threatened Godwit breeding grounds with a giant Metalbird in The Netherlands.
- We’ve joined the fight to save Samoa’s national bird, the Manumea.
- We’re contributing to the American Bird Conservancy’s fearless fight to save wild birds across the Americas.
- We’re partnering with Birdlife International to support five critically endangered bird species.
