Hummingbird
Hummingbirds are so cool! With over 300 varieties to pick from we’ve modelled ours on the Ruby-Throated Hummingbird. This little fella weighs in at a whopping 0.1oz which is about 35% less than the weight of a nickel! But don’t let their size fool you… they’re ferocious and will happily attack Jays, Crows and even Hawks infringing on their patch. When hovering their wings flap up to 200 times/second and their heart pumps 1,200 times/minute. To fuel this, they eat over half their body weight a day in sugar! Is there a bird out there that packs more punch? We don’t think so and having one permanently in your backyard will remind you of just how amazing our world is!
Our Hummingbird is:
✓ 4.3 inches high by 5.5 inches wide(exl. the branch), approximately 8oz
✓ Easy to send- our regular boxes are standard letter size, measuring 11" x 8" x 1/4"
✓ Same day dispatch on orders placed before 2pm on weekdays
✓ Made locally in a family-owned factory, right here in the US
✓Crafted from 1/8-inch Corten steel and designed to last a lifetime
✓ Easy to install - holding on a downwards angle simply tap the thickest end of the stake with a hammer or mallet until secure
✓ Effortless install:
- Drill a pilot hole (recommended - but not essential): use a drill bit that’s
one size smaller than the spike (tight enough to hold) - Tap Tap Tap: Grab your bird and gently tap the spike into your surface with a
hammer or mallet. About 1 to 2 inches deep is plenty, just enough to hold its
weight. - Step back: and admire your art.

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.
