Description

Meet the speed demon of the sky — now with a little imperfection and a lot of heart. The Peregrine Falcon is famous for its blistering dive-bomb hunting technique, clocking in at over 200 mph. It can spot prey from over half a mile up, and yet... ours is taking a well-earned break. Sculpted in striking silhouette, this piece channels all the poise of one of nature’s most elite predators — now offered as a Second.

SECONDS ARE FINAL SALE AND NON-RETURNABLE. This falcon might arrive with small visual quirks like light scratches, over-sanding, white splash, or a slightly irregular edge. It’s still the same strong, weatherproof Corten® steel — just with a little added character.

Give this raptor a perch worth scouting from. The Peregrine Falcon works best when installed on a vertical surface — mimicking its natural lookout post on cliffs or high ledges.

1. Choose a sturdy vertical spot like a fence post, tree trunk, or wooden wall
2. Hold the falcon firmly with the stake pointing down at a downward angle
3. Tap the thickest part of the stake with a hammer or mallet until firmly embedded
4. Step back and admire — you've just mounted a bird faster than gravity

Top Tip: Place high and proud to match the falcon’s sky-high personality

What makes this a ‘Seconds’ item?
This piece has minor cosmetic flaws - nothing that affects structural strength. You may see surface scratches, patina spots, or sanding marks. We call it character.

Will it still last outdoors?
Yes. It’s made from the same Corten® steel as our firsts and will last just as long - weatherproof and built to develop a protective rust layer.

Why sell Seconds at all?
We’re proud to minimize waste. Instead of scrapping great steel, we offer Seconds at a discount for customers who love a bit of imperfection.

Do falcons really go that fast?
Yes! In a hunting dive, Peregrine Falcons are the fastest animal on earth - reaching over 200 mph.

Can I return this if I don’t like the flaw?
Unfortunately not. Seconds are final sale and non-returnable, as each piece is unique and clearly described.

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.
