Are Metalbirds environmentally friendly?Updated 3 hours ago

Yes. And not in a greenwashed, “stick-a-leaf-logo-on-it” kind of way. We design for longevity, cut waste where we can, and partner with organisations doing the heavy lifting for birds and the planet.

• Made to last: Every Metalbird is cut from premium Corten® steel (70%+ recycled). It weathers beautifully, doesn’t need replacing, and is fully recyclable at end of life.

• Mostly plastic-free packaging: We use recycled cardboard and biodegradable inks. But let’s be honest—some courier mailers and odd bits of shipping supply are still plastic. We’re working on it.

• Offsetting more than we use: Through our partnership with Plastic Collective, we offset twice the plastic we create (2:1). For every gram we use, we fund the recovery and recycling of double. It’s independently audited every year.

• Full conservation partnerships: This isn’t just lip service—we co-create products, run campaigns, and donate proceeds to bird conservation partners around the world, including BirdLife Canada & Ducks Unlimited Canada in Canada. See our "Do You Support Bird Conservation" article for more.

When you hammer a Metalbird into a tree, you’re not just adding art to your garden—you’re joining a global art project that funds real conservation, fights plastic waste, and makes the world a bit wilder (in the good way).
