PLEASE NOTE: This product is part of our FINAL SALE Seconds range. No returns, exchanges, discount codes, or free mini gifts apply. Cosmetic flaws will vary.

Every second counts — place it somewhere proud.

  1. Pick a strong wooden post or tree to give your Woodpecker some presence.
  2. Hold at a slightly downward tilt to mimic its natural climbing posture.
  3. Tap in with a hammer gently — no need for full force.
  4. Make sure it sits flush and doesn’t sway when touched.
  5. Tuck it near bark, timber, or greenery to blend with your garden.

Top Tip: Treat it like any other Metalbird — it’ll weather just the same and look just as striking.

Why is this version called a ‘Second’?
This bird has minor cosmetic imperfections like surface scuffs or irregularities — but it’s still 100% the same great design and quality steel.

Will the imperfections be really noticeable?
In most cases, not at all — especially once the patina develops. Many customers say they can’t tell the difference once installed.

What’s special about the Great Spotted Woodpecker?
Their drumming isn’t just noisy — it’s a form of communication and territory marking. And yes, they have shock-absorbing heads!

Will it still last outdoors like a standard Metalbird?
Absolutely. It’s cut from 3mm Corten steel, designed to weather beautifully and last for years in all conditions.

Can I return it if I change my mind?
Seconds are final sale — no returns, exchanges, or discounts apply. But that’s why they’re such a great value!

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.
