Description

Bright, bold, and full of attitude — now with a little imperfection and a great discount. This Seconds Blue Jay brings the same brilliant silhouette of one of America's most charismatic birds to your backyard, just with a tiny flaw or two. Whether it’s a slight scratch, a small mark, or a white splash that slipped through the cracks, it’s still crafted from the same premium Corten steel, and designed to age beautifully over time.

Seconds are FINAL SALE and NON-RETURNABLE. These birds may have slight imperfections such as scratches, over-sanding, surface marks, white splashes, or variation in tone — but we promise, none of them affect the magic once installed.

Our Blue Jay (Seconds) is:

Just as beautiful, just a little imperfect – A small flaw like a surface mark or slight over-sanding means you score a deal
✓ 11 inches high by 8 inches wide – Perfectly sized for fences, posts, or smaller outdoor spaces
Ships fast – Same day dispatch on orders placed before 2pm on weekdays
Made right here in the USA – Crafted in a local, family-owned factory
Cut from premium Corten steel – Built to weather and age gracefully for a lifetime outdoors

Small bird, big personality - install your Blue Jay somewhere it can make a scene. Whether it’s perching on a post or nestling into a garden edge, this Blue Jay likes to be seen and admired.

1. Choose a flat wooden surface like a fence post, railing, or pergola edge
2. Hold your bird steady with the stake pointing downward at an angle
3. Tap the thickest part of the stake with a hammer or mallet until secure
4. Step back and admire that flash of blue... even with a little imperfection

Top Tip: For maximum visibility, avoid placing in deep shade or dense foliage - Blue Jays are built to be seen.

What makes this bird a 'second'?
It may have a minor flaw like a scratch, white splash, or slightly uneven finish. These are purely cosmetic and won’t impact how it looks once installed.

Will the Blue Jay rust or fade?
The Corten steel is designed to develop a beautiful patina over time — that rusty look is intentional and protects it from the elements.

Can I return or exchange a Seconds item?
No — all Seconds are final sale and not eligible for return or exchange.

Is it safe to gift a Seconds bird?
Absolutely — just be sure the recipient knows it’s a perfectly imperfect piece. Many customers love the character of these discounted birds.

What’s special about the Blue Jay?
Blue Jays are known for their vibrant plumage, intelligence, and mischief. They're iconic backyard visitors and a fan favorite across the US.

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.
