Kotare Metal Bird Ornament - Corten Steel

Invite the calming energy and striking silhouette of the Kōtare into your garden with this life-sized steel sculpture. Known for their impressive bills and sharp-eyed patience, the native Kingfisher is a master predator of the Aotearoa skies.

Whether poised on a powerline or patiently watching from a branch, these birds are famous for their territorial attitude and precision dives.

Clever and resourceful, Kōtare use their powerful bills like jackhammers to hollow out nests in decaying wood.

This sculpture captures that iconic poise, creating a beautiful and meaningful focal point for any outdoor space.

Designed to weather naturally, it brings a sense of native action and character to your backyard while celebrating one of our most determined native species.
