Belted Kingfisher - Second
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.

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.
