Woodpecker - Second
Say hello to the headbanger of your backyard... with a little extra character. Our Woodpecker is one of the most beloved birds in the Metalbird range, thanks to its fierce style and wild energy. Real woodpeckers hammer their heads into trees up to 12,000 times a day, but don’t worry — this one’s much quieter.
This Seconds Woodpecker may arrive with a few cosmetic quirks, but that’s all part of its charm. Whether it's a scratch, a white splash, or a slightly over-sanded wing, this is still a premium piece of weathering steel art — and a more sustainable way to enjoy it.
SECONDS ARE FINAL SALE AND NON-RETURNABLE. Your Seconds bird helps reduce waste and give imperfect pieces a proud place to perch.

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.
