I'm travelling. Can I take my Metalbird on the plane?Updated 3 days ago

(Traveling With a Bird in Your Bag)

Yes, you can take a Metalbird with you - just not in your carry-on. These birds are made from solid Corten steel and have a sharp spike. That means airport security will treat them like a weapon. If you try to carry it on, they’ll very likely take it off you. You'd be surprised how many times we've heard this unfortunate situation happen!


How to Travel With a Metalbird:

1. Pack it in your checked baggage

  • Never in your carry-on. Checked only.

2. Wrap it properly

  • Use a layer of bubble wrap or a soft cloth.

  • Lay it flat against a hard surface (like the back of your suitcase) to prevent bending or damage in transit.

Will It Survive the Flight?

Yes — Metalbirds are tough. We’ve had birds cross oceans and continents with no issues, as long as they’re packed flat and checked in properly.
