Metal Bird - Kōtare, Regular

The Kōtare’s impressive bill is not just pretty, it’s a mighty weapon in the fight to defend territory and help them dive for fish. They also use it to make burrows – they fly straight at a decaying trunk and ram it till there’s a hole big enough to perch in and scoop out.

Metal Bird

Created by industrial designer Phil Walters, began as a guerrilla street art project in New Zealand’s North Island. Walters’ steel artworks, inspired by his love for street art and native birdlife, celebrate the idea that art can be found everywhere, not just in galleries.
