Description

A bold bird with a soft side. This Seconds version of our Blue Jay & Chick silhouette captures the unmistakable spirit of one of North America’s most vocal, vivid birds — this time caught in a quiet parenting moment. Bold blues, fierce loyalty, and an unexpected tenderness make this design one of our most endearing.

SECONDS ARE FINAL SALE AND NON-RETURNABLE. While these pieces may carry minor cosmetic flaws — like over-sanding, scratches, or white specks — they still deserve to be celebrated, not scrapped. We're proud to rehome them, imperfections and all.

Our Blue Jay & Chick (Seconds) is:

✓ Same iconic silhouette, lower price – Seconds come with small cosmetic quirks only
✓ 9.5 inches high by 11.2 inches wide (excluding the branch), approx. 8oz
✓ Shipped flat and giftable – 11" x 8" x ¼" letter-size packaging
✓ Locally made – Cut and finished in a US-based, family-owned factory
✓ Crafted from 1/8" Corten® steel – Weather-resistant and designed to last decades
✓ Fast shipping – Orders placed before 2pm ship same weekday
✓ Beautifully imperfect – May include scratches, white marks, over-sanding or miscut detail
✓ Sustainably minded – We choose to reduce waste by rehoming instead of discarding

Make your tree a stage for this family moment. The Blue Jay & Chick is designed to mount vertically — against a tree trunk, wooden post, or wall — where their sweet interaction can shine.

1. Pick a vertical surface like a fence post or tree with character
2. Position the birds upright with the stake angled slightly downward
3. Tap the stake’s thickest end using a hammer or mallet until secure
4. Step back and enjoy the parenting scene from your kitchen or garden path

Top Tip: Looks extra heartwarming when placed in view of a kitchen window or patio.

What kind of imperfections should I expect?
Seconds may include minor white specks, surface scratches, sanding marks, or small cut anomalies. They’re purely cosmetic and do not affect durability.

What’s special about Blue Jays?
Blue Jays are fiercely protective parents - known to share food with chicks well after they’ve fledged. This piece captures that gentle side.

Can I return or exchange a Seconds piece?
No – Seconds are final sale and non-returnable due to their discounted nature.

Is this safe to mount on a tree?
Yes, just be gentle! Tap into older bark at a slight angle using a mallet or hammer.

Will it rust or stain?
It’s made from Corten® steel, which weathers into a beautiful rustic finish without flaking or staining surrounding areas.

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.
