Description

Tiny. Territorial. Totally mind-blowing.

Weighing less than a nickel and flapping up to 200 times a second, the Ruby-Throated Hummingbird is one of nature’s most impressive overachievers. Our steel silhouette captures this high-speed marvel in a rare moment of stillness—wings out, mid-hover, always alert.

Don’t let the size fool you: hummingbirds are ferocious defenders of their turf. They'll chase off crows, jays, and even hawks if you get too close to their patch. Their hearts beat up to 1,200 times a minute. They visit hundreds of flowers a day. And to keep up that energy, they consume more than half their body weight in sugar—daily.

Perch this one in your garden as a tribute to the most turbocharged creature you'll ever meet—and a reminder that small things can be mighty.

This bird doesn’t need a big entrance. Just a thoughtful spot.

1. Pick your perch – Ideal near nectar feeders, flower beds, potted plants, or low fence lines where it can be admired up close. No backyard? No problem. The Hummingbird looks just as striking in: Balcony planters / Window boxes / Rail-mounted garden beds /
Vertical wall planters / Pots on patios or fire escapes
2. Hold the stake at a downward angle – This helps guide the steel smoothly into place and keeps it secure.
3. Tap the thickest part of the stake gently with a hammer or mallet until it's stable—no drilling, no fuss.
4. Place it near the action – Real hummingbirds will dart right past it, but the stillness is part of the charm.

Top tip: install at eye level or just below, where the wings catch the light and the silhouette shines against leaves or sky.

What kind of hummingbird is this based on?
The Ruby-Throated Hummingbird—the most common hummingbird in the eastern U.S. They're small, fast, and fiercely territorial.

How much do hummingbirds eat?
They can consume up to half their body weight in nectar and sugar water daily—visiting hundreds of flowers in the process.

Is this weatherproof?
Yes. It’s made from 1/8-inch Corten® steel, designed to form a stable patina that protects the piece over time and blends beautifully into the landscape.

Will it attract real hummingbirds?
Not by itself—but pair it with nectar-rich flowers or a sugar water feeder and it’ll definitely help create a hummingbird-friendly space.

Is this a good gift for nature lovers?
Absolutely. It’s a top pick for gardeners, birders, or anyone who loves beautiful backyard moments.

AS SEEN IN

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.
