Description

Bold, brilliant, and totally unbothered, the Belted Kingfisher is one of the most striking birds you'll find perched over a river, lake, or backyard pond. Famous for its headfirst dives and mohawk-like crest, this water-loving hunter is a backyard upgrade waiting to happen. As a "second," this Metalbird comes with a few charming flaws - maybe a white splash, a little over-sanding, or some uneven weathering - but none of that affects how incredible it looks once installed.

Seconds are FINAL SALE and NON-RETURNABLE.
You're getting the same bold silhouette, locally made and designed to last... just with a little more character.

This beautifully imperfect Belted Kingfisher is:

✓ A statement piece - 6 inches high by 4 inches wide (excluding branch), approx. 8oz
✓ Incredible value -
A slightly flawed piece at a discounted price
✓ Made to last -
Crafted from USA-made 1/8-inch Corten steel that weathers beautifully
✓ Fast to ship -
Same-day dispatch on weekday orders before 2pm
✓ Made right here -
Cut and crafted in a family-owned US factory
✓ Beautifully imperfect -
May include light scratches, uneven patina, white splash, or over-sanding

Give your Kingfisher a perch with purpose. This bird thrives in slightly elevated or water-adjacent spots where it can look like it's just about to dive.

1. Choose a solid, horizontal surface like a fence post, dock rail, or wooden garden edge
2. Hold the piece at a slight downward angle with the stake tip resting against the surface
3. Tap the thickest part of the stake gently using a hammer or mallet until the bird is secure
4. Step back and enjoy the powerful stillness of your perched Kingfisher

Top Tip: Kingfishers love a water view... place yours near a pond, bird bath, or water feature for best effect

What makes this a second?
This Kingfisher might have small visual imperfections like over-sanding, a white splash, or an uneven patina... but nothing that affects how great it looks in your garden.

Is it safe to gift a seconds product?
Yes - just keep in mind the box may be unbranded, and it won’t be 100% perfect. Many of our customers gift seconds with a note about their "perfect imperfections" and love the added charm.

Will it rust?
Yes - in the best way. This is Corten steel, designed to develop a rich, protective patina that only gets better with age.

Can I return it if I change my mind?
No - Seconds are final sale and non-returnable. Please only order if you’re happy with a few quirks.

What makes the Kingfisher special?
This bird is an aerial acrobat with a punk-rock crest and fearless dive... and ours captures that moment of stillness just before the plunge.

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.
