This bird’s got presence — give it a wall or post where it can command attention.

1. Choose a vertical surface – A fence face, tree trunk, post or shed wall
2. Hold the stake at a slight downward angle – Aim for upright when tapped in
3. Tap the thickest part of the stake with a hammer or mallet until secure
4. Step back and admire – It's got the pose of a true apex predator

Top tip: Vertical installations give this hawk the best silhouette — avoid leafy backdrops so it really pops.

What’s it made from?
It’s crafted from 1/8" American-made Corten® steel. Over time, it develops a natural patina that protects the metal and gives it that gorgeous rusted look.

Where should I install it?
This bird is built for vertical surfaces like fences, posts, shed walls, or tree trunks — anywhere it can survey its domain from above.

Is it gift-ready?
Absolutely! It comes in a beautifully designed, mailer-friendly box. Just let your lucky recipient know it’s a Seconds piece — it’s all part of the charm.

What makes this a “Seconds” product?
Seconds have minor cosmetic flaws like scratches, light bends, white splashes, or over-sanding. They’re still structurally sound, weatherproof, and stunning from a few steps back. And Seconds are FINAL SALE – non-returnable.

Why does it sound familiar?
That iconic screech you hear in movies — even when it’s a bald eagle on screen? It’s usually this bird. The Red-Tailed Hawk’s high-pitched cry is Hollywood’s go-to sound effect.

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.
