Description

Celebrate love (with a little extra character). Our Kissing Cardinals are a symbol of romance, loyalty, and sweet affection — and now, a little more accessible thanks to some gentle imperfections. From minor scratches to splashes or sanding marks, these Seconds are all charm, with just a little more personality.

SECONDS ARE FINAL SALE AND NON-RETURNABLE. We believe in minimum waste, so instead of scrapping them, we’re giving these lovebirds a chance to shine.

Our Kissing Cardinals (Seconds) are:

A perfectly imperfect pair – The same beautiful design, now discounted
7.5 inches high by 11.5 inches wide – Striking silhouette of lovebirds
Made locally – At our family-owned US-based factory
Crafted from 1/8-inch American-made Corten steel – Durable, weathering steel with character
Ships same day – When you order before 2pm on a weekday
Beautifully imperfect – May feature scratches, white splashes, or over-sanding
Low waste, high charm – We’d rather rehome them than toss them

A moment of affection deserves a perfect perch. These two lovebirds thrive in a spot with clear visibility and space to shine.

1. Find a horizontal surface like a railing, wooden post, or planter edge
2. Hold the stake at a slight downward angle for weather runoff
3. Tap the thickest end of the stake gently with a hammer or mallet
4. Step back and let the lovebirds set the mood

Top Tip: These make a sweet surprise for anniversaries, weddings, or as a gift for your favorite romantic.

What makes these a ‘Second’?
They might have a small scratch, surface splash, or uneven sanding - but they’re structurally perfect and still stunning outdoors.

Are Kissing Cardinals actually a thing?
Yes! During courtship, male Cardinals feed the female beak-to-beak - which looks just like a kiss. It’s one of the sweetest displays in the bird world.

Can I return this if I’m not happy with the flaw?
Unfortunately not. Seconds are final sale, and we’re clear about the visual imperfections upfront.

Are these safe to display outdoors long term?
Absolutely - Corten steel is designed to weather beautifully over time.

Do both birds come as shown?
Yes - you’ll receive the full design, as one beautiful piece.

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.
