Description

Perfectly imperfect. Still adorable.
This little Wren might have a bump, scratch, or mark — but none of that changes how much joy it brings. Our Seconds range is made up of pieces that didn’t quite meet our top visual standards, but still sing with charm and personality. If you’re after a great deal and a bird with a bit of character, this one’s for you.

We’ve always loved the Wren for its big voice and brave heart — and this version is no different. It’s still crafted from the same Corten® weathering steel, cut to the same iconic silhouette, and designed to last a lifetime outdoors.

Our Seconds Wren is:

✓ 7 inches high by 5.5 inches wide (excl. the branch), approx 8 oz
✓ Slightly imperfect – might include scratches, rust marks, miscuts or patina variation
✓ Final sale – we don’t accept returns on Seconds
✓ Easy to send – packaged in our standard 11" x 8" x 1/4" box
✓ Same-day dispatch on orders placed before 2pm on weekdays
✓ Made locally in a family-owned US factory
✓ Crafted from American-made 1/8-inch Corten steel and designed to age beautifully

This bird doesn’t need a nest — just a little tap.

1. Find the perfect perch – A fence post, deck railing, or gate works brilliantly
2. Hold your Wren steady – Angle the stake downwards like it’s about to land
3. Tap the thickest part of the stake – Use a hammer or mallet until it feels nice and snug
4. Step back and smile – You just gave a perfectly imperfect bird a forever home

Top tip: Your imperfect Wren after a week will look just like a first-priced version as the patina process covers any imperfections. Sit back and appreciate your bargain!

Why is this a ‘Second’?
Seconds are pieces with small cosmetic flaws – this might be a surface scratch, rust mark, laser miscut, or uneven patina. They're all structurally sound and designed to last, just not quite up to our usual aesthetic standards.

Will the flaws get worse over time?
No. Corten steel naturally patinas over time, and any imperfections are just part of the surface. They won't affect the lifespan or structural integrity of your Metalbird.

Can I return a Seconds product if I change my mind?
No returns on Seconds, sorry! These are final sale items, and we price them accordingly.

Does it still come in gift-ready packaging?
Yes – it’s packed in the same sturdy branded box and ready to give (quirks and all).

Is it still weatherproof like the others?
Absolutely. Every Seconds bird is made from the same high-quality American Corten® steel we use for our full-price range.

Each Metalbird is crafted from Corten® Steel, a premium, weathering steel made to last.

When it meets the elements, it doesn’t rust like your old BBQ. It transforms.

That change you’re seeing? That’s patina. A tough, protective outer layer that seals the steel, adds character, and preserves your bird for decades.

This isn’t paint. It’s nature’s way of ageing gracefully.

The Patina Process:

At first, you’ll notice bright orange spots (we call this the teenage phase). Soon enough, the whole bird will turn a bold orange, slowly shifting into deep burnt umber. Eventually, it settles into a moody charcoal that feels like it’s always belonged.

The Result? A piece of industrial art with a heartbeat. No peeling, no fading, just a bird that gets better with age.
