Tiny but mighty... and just a little imperfect. Our beloved Ruby-Throated Hummingbird silhouette might arrive with a tiny scuff, a sanding swirl, or a splash of white - but its beauty, character, and resilience are still totally intact. Seconds are our way of reducing waste while offering you a chance to score your favorite piece at a discounted price.

SECONDS ARE FINAL SALE AND NON-RETURNABLE. Rest assured, every piece is structurally perfect and install-ready.

Our Hummingbird (Seconds) is:

Your favorite bird, for less – Same iconic silhouette at a fraction of the price
4.3 inches high by 5.5 inches wide – Small, sleek and full of energy
Crafted in the USA – From durable, 1/8-inch American-made Corten steel
Ships same day – Order before 2pm on weekdays for fast dispatch
Beautifully imperfect – May include a scratch, over-sanding, or a white splash, but never where it counts

This little legend deserves a spot with sunshine. Installing your Hummingbird is quick, easy, and satisfying.

1. Pick a flat wooden surface like a fence post, gate, or pergola beam
2. Hold the stake pointing downward at a slight angle for weather protection
3. Gently tap the thickest part of the stake with a hammer or mallet until secure
4. Step back and enjoy - the charm is instant

Top Tip: Place near flowering plants or a hummingbird feeder for the full effect.

What imperfections should I expect with my Seconds Hummingbird?
Typical flaws include a small scratch, over-sanding, or a white splash - always surface-level only.

Can I return or exchange it if I change my mind?
No, sorry. Seconds are final sale and cannot be returned.

Will this rust or deteriorate faster because it’s a Second?
Not at all. All Seconds are made from the same high-quality Corten steel and will weather beautifully over time.

Is this the same size as the regular Hummingbird?
Yes - this is the full-size original Hummingbird silhouette.

Why sell imperfect pieces at all?
We believe in reducing waste. Scrapping great art over a minor flaw felt wrong - so we pass the savings to you.

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.
