How much song can you pack into one tiny brown bird?
Super-songbird Wren’s secret is being able to hit two notes at the same time – as well, this wee winter Wren’s song can outlast and outpitch any other Canadian bird. It might be small and dun-coloured, but hold onto your hat – its Latin name is Troglodytes troglodytes. Harming a wren is said to bring bad luck and we’ll second that. This charming little battler with its vertically-cocked tail feather is guaranteed to put a small on your face every time you look out the window.
The Carolina Wren is:
- 7 inches high by 5.5 inches wide (doesn't include measurement of the branch/spike)
- Easily installed with the tap of a hammer (pre-drill hard wood)
- Designed in 1/7-inch Corten® steel to form a beautiful patina of rust that changes with the seasons
- An ideal gift for someone who bursts into song at the drop of a hat

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.
