Description

A little family, with a little flaw. This adorable Chickadee & Chicks silhouette might have a minor imperfection — a scratch, some over-sanding, or a splash of white — but the family vibes are still strong. Instead of scrapping this perfectly functional piece, we’re offering it at a lower price to reduce waste and let you enjoy its charm without breaking the bank.

SECONDS ARE FINAL SALE AND NON-RETURNABLE. Each Seconds bird is fully installable and structurally sound — the flaw is cosmetic only and often vanishes once it’s outside.

Our Chickadee & Chicks (Seconds) is:

A sweet backyard moment – A parent Chickadee and three chicks captured in silhouette
3.2 inches high by 10 inches wide – A wide but compact piece, perfect for narrow spaces
Eco-conscious choice – You save money and help us reduce manufacturing waste
Same-day shipping – Order before 2pm on a weekday and we’ll send it out that day
Built to last – Made in the USA from 1/8-inch Corten steel that weathers beautifully

A parenting moment made easy to perch. This piece tells a story - all it needs is a spot with a view.

1. Find a horizontal surface like a fence post, railing, or planter box edge
2. Position the stake pointing downward to encourage water runoff
3. Tap the thicker end of the stake gently with a hammer or mallet until it’s steady
4. Stand back and enjoy this heartwarming little scene

Top Tip: This design has a long silhouette - it looks great nestled among tall plants or flowers that create a natural frame.

What qualifies this as a Seconds piece?
Tiny imperfections like scratches, sanding marks, or white splashes - barely visible once installed, but not quite first-quality.

Can I return it if I don’t like the flaw?
Unfortunately not - all Seconds are final sale.

Is this the same as your full-price version?
Yes - same size, same Corten steel, same craftsmanship. Just a small flaw at a smaller price.

Is the Chickadee really that friendly?
They are known for being curious and bold around people - it’s what makes them so loved in backyards!

Why don’t you just recycle flawed pieces?
We want to keep beautiful, functional items out of the scrap pile. Offering Seconds reduces waste and gives each piece a home.

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.
