Metal Bird - Bowl Feeder

Bowl those birds over (metaphorically speaking) with this quirky way of keeping them happy and hydrated! 

Designed to hold any round vessel of your choosing, from delicate porcelain to practical tupperware, it’s a way to keep birds hydrated, with the added perk of attracting them to your yard on a daily basis. Forget asking someone out for a drink, offer a bird some water and you’ll have companions for life! It improves their quality of life and habitat, and gives you the chance to observe their sweet quirks and behaviors up close. To use a bowling term.. we’d call that a strike!

METAL BIRD

Metalbird is the brainchild of Phil Walters, an industrial designer and lover of street art and New Zealand’s native flora and fauna.

His handcrafted artworks bring together his passions: the tough, 3mm Corten® steel and stencil design, a nod to his urban art roots. The birds are inspired by the mysterious, satirical street artist Banksy – the stencils look as if street art has turned 3D.

Metalbird started as a guerrilla street art project. All over New Zealand’s North Island, more than 40 life-sized, Metalbird stencils appeared. In parks, in fences and on power poles – anywhere you’d least expect. And people loved them.

"Our designs represent some of New Zealand’s most precious birdlife. Art isn’t just something you see on a gallery wall – it can be the way the light shines through a coloured window or the splash of spray-paint on a city overpass. Art can be something you see, hear, taste or touch. But most of all, it’s something you experience – bringing with it memories and emotions"
