Puffin - Second
Bright-beaked and full of charm... just a little rough around the edges. Puffins are often called “the cutest birds on Earth,” and it’s not hard to see why. With their tuxedo-like feathers, expressive faces, and colorful beaks, Puffins are the clowns of the seabird world — and we mean that affectionately. Our Puffin silhouette captures their quirky cool perfectly, even if this one’s sporting a visual quirk or two.
SECONDS ARE FINAL SALE AND NON-RETURNABLE. Your Puffin may arrive with a small cosmetic imperfection — a surface mark, over-sanding, white splash, or rough cut. Still structurally sound, made of weather-resistant Corten® steel, and ready to bring the seaside charm.

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.
