Style With
Cardinal
A familiar face, right outside.
That crest. That sturdy little beak. You know this visitor before it reaches the feeder. Our Cardinal keeps that familiar outline in your yard, even when the real birds have other plans. Give it to a backyard birdwatcher, or choose it simply because cardinals make you smile.
Steel that changes with the seasons
Corten is weathering steel. Its gray surface changes through orange and brown tones outdoors as a natural rust patina develops. Each setting leaves its own mark, so color and timing vary. Allow water to drain and keep rusty runoff away from pale stone, walls and other surfaces that could stain.
Choose a perch. Tap it in.
Choose sound, solid wood with space around the silhouette. Hold the branch securely, angle the mounting spike slightly downward and tap the thick end with a hammer or mallet until steady. Hard wood may need a pilot hole. Wear gloves and eye protection, and keep the pointed spike away from children. A fence post or timber planter is a useful alternative to a living tree.
A small box with someone in mind.
Your bird arrives flat-packed in Metalbird gift packaging, with a brand booklet and postcard. No invoice or pricing is included. If the gift-message option is available and you add a message at checkout, it is printed on the postcard. A bird you chose for them, ready for them to choose its perch.

Frequently asked questions
What is it made from?
American Corten weathering steel, cut and made in the USA.
Will it rust or stain?
Yes. Natural rust patina is part of Corten steel. Runoff can stain nearby surfaces, especially while weathering; choose the location with that in mind.
How big is it?
9.5 in high × 4 in wide, excluding the branch; approximately 8 oz.
How do I install it?
Choose sound, solid wood with space around the silhouette. Hold the branch securely, angle the mounting spike slightly downward and tap the thick end with a hammer or mallet until steady. Hard wood may need a pilot hole. Wear gloves and eye protection, and keep the pointed spike away from children. A fence post or timber planter is a useful alternative to a living tree.
Do I have to use a tree?
No. Use sound timber such as a fence post or wooden planter. If you prefer a living tree, consult the tree-care guidance in our Help Center and choose the site carefully; no tree-safety guarantee is implied.
