Do real cardinals “kiss”?
It’s courtship feeding—he passes a seed to her beak‑to‑beak. It helps nourish her before nesting and shows he’s a capable provider.

Where will this look best?
On a fence post, pergola, or trellis at eye height. A pale background boosts visibility; a garden light creates a lovely evening silhouette.

Will it last in all weather?
Yes. Corten steel is designed for the elements. The protective patina means no painting or upkeep.

Can it attract real cardinals?
While silhouettes don’t attract birds directly, placing it near feeders, water, and dense shrubs makes your yard more cardinal‑friendly.

Any surface care tips?
Early patina may shed light residue. Avoid installing over pale porous stone, or seal nearby masonry if needed.

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.
