Huia Gonna Call

The only call this Huia is making. is a wake-up one.

Before Metalbird took flight, there was just Phil and a sketch of a bird — and that very first Huia he made? It was holding a smartphone. A cheeky, slightly confronting symbol of the things we overlook when we’re not paying attention — and a reminder that some things, like the Huia itself, can’t be brought back once they’re gone.

As the first release in our Legacy Collection, the Huia with Smartphone puts a modern spin on a timeless tragedy — pairing extinct beauty with 21st-century irony. It’s the perfect gift for opinionated uncles, social scrollers, nature lovers. or anyone who can laugh at themselves and feel something while doing it.
