Metal Bird - Piwakawaka (Fantail) and Baby

A rare moment between parent and chick, captured in steel.
The cheeky flick of a fantail’s tail is a welcome sight in any Kiwi backyard... but catching one mid-feed, baby in tow? That’s rare magic. Our Fantail & Baby silhouette captures this fleeting moment in 3mm Corten® steel — full of life, connection, and meaning.

In Māori tradition, the Pīwakawaka is more than a garden visitor — it’s seen as a guardian and messenger. A symbol of new beginnings, change, and protection. Whether you're marking the arrival of a baby, honouring the bond of parenthood, or simply adding something joyful to your yard, this piece taps into something deeply human.

Crafted in New Zealand and designed to last a lifetime outdoors, it’s a gift that carries both beauty and story.
