What are 'Seconds'?Updated 5 months ago

At Metalbird, we’re all about giving every bird a chance to shine—even those with a few minor flaws. Our Metalbird Seconds are pieces that didn’t quite meet our strict quality standards, showing small cosmetic imperfections like tiny scratches, dents, or material irregularities. Instead of discarding them, we embrace their unique character and offer them to you at a discounted price, helping us reduce waste and making these beautiful birds more affordable.

Each of our Seconds is made from the same high-quality Corten steel, also known as weathering steel, which develops a rich patina over time. This natural aging process seals the steel and gives it a beautiful, even coloring, so you’ll hardly notice the initial imperfections once it’s installed.

By choosing a Metalbird Second, you’re not only getting a one-of-a-kind piece but also helping us minimize waste. Because of the special nature of our Seconds, all sales are final, and they’re not eligible for returns, exchanges, or additional discounts. So, if you’re looking to add some personality to your outdoor space without breaking the bank, our Seconds might be just the “tweet deal” you’ve been waiting for!
