About the Product
Meet Grumpy Gus, the morepork with a scowl sharper than a kiwi's beak! Crafted from corten steel, Gus is the night owl who's not afraid to show his disdain for nocturnal shenanigans. With his perpetually furrowed brow and a glare that could stop a possum in its tracks, he's the cantankerous curmudgeon of the forest – grumbling and groaning his way through the night.
Imagine Gus perched high in your garden, his grumpy demeanor casting a shadow over the moonlit landscape as he begrudgingly watches the world go by. He's like the grouchy neighbor you can't help but chuckle at, secretly enjoying his grumpiness from afar.
Hang up Grumpy Gus today and let his sourpuss charm add a touch of humor to your backyard – because even in the darkness of the night, there's always room for a good laugh, especially when it comes from a morepork named Gus!

Product Arrival and Care
Your New Rustic Character
When your item arrives, it will be in its raw steel form—shiny and unweathered. Ready for transformation, simply set it outdoors and let nature do its work. Over time, the natural elements will gracefully age your piece, enhancing its character with a distinctive rust patina. Learn more about this here.
Handle With Care
Please handle your new piece with care; the edges may be sharp. While we diligently smooth and finish each item, please be careful when handling.
Safety and Aesthetics
Enjoy watching your Corten Steel art develop its final rusted look, adding unique rustic charm to your space. The transformation is gradual and varies based on environmental conditions. Feel free to reach out with any questions —we’re here to help!
Let customers speak for us
We have the Hares in our garden and just Love them. At a glance you think there’s a real one in the garden. These are sturdy beautifully made and easy to install 😊
Highly recommend!
Absolutely love this dog! It looks great in the garden and has formed a gorgeous rusty coat within a couple of weeks by the sea. Awesome customer service and awesome product -can’t wait to buy more.
Sitting by the pond.
This Tui sits nicely nestled amongst the trees in my garden.
Our hare is displayed in my garden amongst all of my plants, weeds and flowers, with a backdrop to the paddocks, where the 'real' hares run amuck !
Awesome product. Gift for a friend now want one for myself . Just love it!
Incredibly fast postage to Australia, arrived in a few days from placing the order.
Just love it. He looks so great amongst our pear tree walk welcoming visitors to the front door. He arrived to Queensland, Aus so quickly- so impressed with the service, thankyou!
My initial Hank had a slight design flaw as in the stake into the ground was a little flimsy for the wind conditions we get here. Tim at Rusty Hare could not have done more to rectify and redesign Hank so he was more robust at the stake. My dealings with Rusty Hare have been excellent and Tim could not have been more conscientious in his work and customer service. I would definitely recommend and use again.
Love our donkey. We got her over in Perth, WA. Looks great!
Love this pair, they great in the liriope surrounding the deck. Rusting off nicely. Great service, prompt delivery - the ears had pierced through the packaging but no damage. Highly recommend. I have the perfect spot for the donkey so eyeing him up for next purchase!
The perfect gift for the owner of X5 horses who has X2 greenhouses. Pretty thrilled!
Amazingly quick delivery. Ordered one day delivered the next!
This pet memorial was bought for our son in law
Whose beloved dog Spud died a while ago , it was a perfect present
I bought the ducks and ducklings for my sisters birthday. She absolutely loves them. They're next to her pool and she sent me photos of the wild duck and her babies socialising with the steel ones ...so cute
