Description

Give your plants a little buzz of support.

Our Honey Bee Plant Stake isn’t just adorable—it’s here to help your leafy friends stand tall. Whether you’ve got a trailing vine, an ambitious Monstera, or a climber in need of direction, this sturdy bee-themed stake gives structure where it matters.

Our Seconds version still brings all the bold charm and unmistakable silhouette of the real thing — only with a tiny imperfection and a very friendly price tag. Maybe it’s a light scratch, a white splash, or an overzealous sanding pass — whatever the quirk, this bird will still look stunning once installed.

SECONDS ARE FINAL SALE AND NON-RETURNABLE. Imperfections may include surface scratches, over-sanding, white splashes, or color variation — but they’re cosmetic only and disappear into the shadows once your bird is in place.

Radiant, and ridiculously easy to install. Whether you’re tapping this Cardinal into a sunny fence post or garden edge, the install is as simple as its style is iconic.

1. Pick a flat wooden spot like a deck post, fence rail, or planter edge
2. Angle the bird downward slightly so water runs off easily
3. Tap the thickest part of the stake with a hammer or mallet until firm
4. Take a step back... it's still a knockout, flaws and all

Top Tip: Cardinals love attention — avoid hiding them in dense foliage where they’ll be less visible.

What kind of flaws does a Seconds Cardinal have?
These may include minor scratches, white splashes, slightly uneven tone, or a touch of over-sanding. None affect the structure or beauty once installed.

Can I return this if I change my mind?
No — Seconds are sold as-is and all sales are final.

Will my Seconds bird still last as long outdoors?
Yes — it’s made from the same Corten steel and will weather into a gorgeous patina, just like a first-quality bird.

Why is the Cardinal so popular?
Cardinals are bold, loyal, and symbolic of joy — plus they’re the state bird of seven US states, making them a classic gift and garden icon.

Is it okay to gift a Seconds bird?
Definitely — just let the lucky person know it's beautifully imperfect. Many customers say the minor flaws add to the charm.

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.
