Barn Owl - Seconds
Even the wisest birds deserve a second chance.
At Metalbird, we believe in giving every bird its moment to shine — even the ones with cosmetic quirks. Our Barn Owl Seconds are made to the same high standards, but with small visual imperfections such as scratches, material imprints, over-sanding or light patina bloom. These flaws don’t affect performance, and once the natural weathering process begins, most are barely noticeable.
It’s the same iconic Barn Owl design, just a little rougher around the edges — and offered at a discount to help us reduce waste. A smart pick for owl lovers, bargain hunters, or anyone who believes in second chances.

Barn Owl - Seconds
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.
