Metal Bird - Brown Kiwi

The kiwi has cat-like whiskers, hair-like plummage, nose-like nostrils and legs so powerful it can run at human-like speed! Incredible they are, but sadly not invincible – around 90% of kiwi chicks in the wild die, mostly killed by stoats and cats. Enter the other kind of amazing kiwi – ordinary, everyday human kiwis are actively protecting an area of 230,000 hectares to help prevent our national icon from becoming extinct – about the same size of the land area protected by DOC. Go the kiwis for the kiwi! We think the Metalbird kiwi will be a proud addition to any backyard.

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.
