Our Corporate Partners

Metalbird have supported Forest & Bird’s conservation mahi since 2020. It began with a steel silhouette of the Bird of the Year winner crafted in record time. Each year since, they have done the same in celebration of Aotearoa New Zealand’s favourite manu.  

Bird of the Year went global in 2023, thanks to some intervention from John Oliver and Metalbird were along for the ride. Thousands of pūteketeke flew off the shelves, helping uplift this previously lesser known underbird.  

30% of profits are donated to support our conservation mahi – giving back to the nature that inspires Metalbird’s designs.  

Intrepid Travel have a mission to create positive impact through the joy of travel, community and connection. Through their non-profit, The Intrepid Foundation (TIF), created in 2002 they allow travellers to give something back to the places they visit. As the TIF partner in Aotearoa New Zealand, Forest & Bird receives dollar-matched donations for every customer that gives post-trip.  

To support those donations, the Intrepid Travel team here on the ground are sharing our mahi with travellers. They also raise money through staff events and activities and give their time through volunteering too.

A better alternative to single-use plastics.
