Yes, that funny upside-down bird.

The Nuthatch is the acrobat of the bird world — a tiny, tree-hugging gymnast that earns its name by jamming nuts into bark and smashing them open with its beak. Their wild toe arrangement (one back, three forward) lets them do something most birds can’t: climb down trees headfirst. Which might explain why toddlers find them hilarious.

We’ve captured the Nuthatch mid-perch — upright, proud, and full of personality. But if you’ve got kids (or just love chaos), go ahead and install it upside-down. We won’t stop you.

✓ Small but bold... 5" high x 6" wide (excl. branch), approx. 8oz
✓ Easy to gift... Fits perfectly in our 11" x 8" x ¼" standard letter-sized box
✓ Fast to fly... Same-day dispatch on weekday orders before 2pm
✓ Made here, made right... Crafted in a family-owned US workshop
✓ Built to endure... 1/8" American Corten® steel, designed to weather beautifully
✓ Installs in seconds... Just tap it in with a hammer. No tools. No fuss.

    This bird’s ready to perch wherever you place it.

    Installing your Nuthatch is quick and satisfying — here’s how to get it just right:

    • Choose a solid wooden spot — tree trunk, fence post, deck railing, or pergola beam.
    • Hold the stake at a downward angle to mimic how birds naturally perch.
    • Tap the thicker end of the stake gently but firmly with a hammer or mallet until secure.
    • Admire instantly. No assembly. No extra parts. Just bird brilliance.

    Optional: Feeling cheeky? Flip your Nuthatch upside down — it’s technically accurate, and toddlers love it.

    What kind of bird is this?
    It’s a Nuthatch — a small, agile bird known for its headfirst tree-climbing and nut-cracking habits.

    Will the color change over time?
    Yes, and beautifully. Your Nuthatch is made from Corten® steel, which develops a natural patina (a rich weathered finish) over time — no maintenance required.

    Where should I place it?
    Any open wooden surface where the silhouette can stand out. Fence posts, trunks, and edges of sheds or mailboxes work brilliantly.

    Will it survive all weather?
    Absolutely. It’s crafted to last a lifetime outdoors, through rain, snow, sun, and more.

    Is this a good gift?
    Perfect for nature lovers, bird nerds, kids with a favorite “upside-down bird,” or anyone who’d love a little character in their yard.

    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.
