Metalbird | Karearea | New Zealand Falcon
The Karearea might be our most threatened bird of prey, but that doesn’t hold them back because they are relentless. From high vantage points this fast-flying raptor launches into a dramatic chase after its live prey. When nesting on the ground they are known for attacking intruders, including humans, with aggressive dive-bombing strikes to the head. Not the ones you see feeding on roadkill, both our male and female native Falcons can be identified by a handlebar moustache. It’ll make a mighty powerful impression to your backyard.
Our Karearea is:
- 34cm high by 30cm wide (includes measurement of the branch/spike)
- Easily installed with the tap of a hammer (pre-drill hard wood)
- Crafted in 3mm Corten® 'weathering' Steel to form a beautiful patina that changes with the seasons
-
Makes a great gift for the friend who likes to open your eyes to different views

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.
With the simple tap of a hammer, this beautifully crafted, iconic, life-like bird silhouette will transform your backyard, garden or environment into a work of art and put smiles on faces for years to come.
Producing locally and ethically is important to us. Each bird is proudly cut then crafted in a small family owned NZ factory out of premium 11-Gauge Corten Steel.
We love what we do. We hope it shows.
Welcome to the project."
