Metalbird | Tūī |Tui

The sight of Tūī on a flax flower can make the most hardened Kiwi misty-eyed. This brilliant, stroppy bird has thrived with us humans, and brings a lot to the party. As well as looking very cool in metallic green, purple and black with a white chest ruff, they sound incredible. Thanks to two voice boxes, the Tūī can sing, click, cackle, creak and groan. But you don’t know the half of it ‘cos many of its sounds can’t be heard by human ears. Get this iconic beauty for your backyard.

The Metalbird Story:

"Metalbird grew from a New Zealand Street Art Project I started back in 2009. I created and installed cool metal bird silhouettes around my neighbourhood just for fun. People loved them, wanted them and 10 years later Metalbird has become a global art project.
