Metal Bird - Waxeye / Tauhou with Chicks

Tiny in size, mighty in motherhood.
Meet the Tauhou – also known as the Silvereye or Waxeye – one of Aotearoa’s most common yet endearing native birds. With their delicate green plumage and signature white eye-rings, these birds are constant garden companions, darting between branches in cheerful, fluttering flocks.

Our silhouette captures the Tauhou in full supermum mode – feeding her hungry chicks straight from the nest. It’s a heartwarming moment of nature brought to life in weathering Corten steel. Whether you're gifting it to a mum, celebrating the wild life in your backyard, or just want to bring more native joy to your space, this little sculpture is full of big meaning.
