Bird Size, Travel & Real Bird ReactionsUpdated 9 days ago

How big are the birds?
Most of our flock ranges from 30–35cm tall (about the size of a large sandwich, but more artistic). Wingspans and tailfeathers vary by design. Minis are pint-sized, and our Big Birds? Well, you’ll know one when you see it.

Check the product page for exact specs. We like to keep it transparent, even if our birds aren’t.

Will it scare off real birds?
Not unless your locals are drama queens. In fact, many real birds treat our silhouettes like long-lost cousins. We’ve got the photos to prove it. We often show pics on our socials of just this phenomenon.

The truth is, birds are smart — they know a sculpture when they see one. So your Metalbird won’t scare them off. If anything, it might just become part of the gang.

Can I take my Metalbird on a plane?
Yes, but check it in. A sharp steel spike in your carry-on is a one-way ticket to the ‘extra screening’ lounge. Wrap it in a towel, chuck it in your luggage, and you’re good to go.
