🦆 Pukeko – Recycled Scrap Metal Sculpture
Bold colour. Kiwi character. Sustainable charm.
Meet our Pukeko — a vibrant, handcrafted tribute to one of New Zealand’s most iconic wetland birds. Standing approximately 550mm tall and 600mm long, this large, striking sculpture captures the Pukeko’s curious stance and lively personality with expressive detailing and playful proportions.
Crafted from repurposed scrap metal, each bird features a vivid blue body shaped from recycled oil drums, paired with wings formed from twisted and sculpted steel strips. The result is a beautifully ornate piece that celebrates creativity, craftsmanship, and conscious reuse.
Three to four times larger than a real Pukeko, this sculpture makes an eye‑catching feature in any outdoor setting — from garden beds and pathways to decks, patios, and landscaped spaces.
