HUMMINGBIRD

Hummingbirds are so cool! With over 300 varieties to pick from weve modelled ours on the Ruby-Throated Hummingbird. This little fella weighs in at a whopping 0.1oz which is about 35% less than the weight of a nickel! But dont let their size fool you theyre ferocious and will happily attack Jays, Crows and even Hawks infringing on their patch. When hovering their wings flap up to 200 times/second and their heart pumps 1,200 times/minute. To fuel this, they eat over half their body weight a day in sugar! Is there a bird out there that packs more punch? We dont think so and having one permanently in your backyard will remind you of just how amazing our world is!

Our birds are designed with 1/8-inch CorTen steel to form a protective patina that deepens and strengthens with the seasons. This patina will deepen in shade over the years until it reaches a deep brown/charcoal black hue.

This self-sealing aspect of CorTen steel provides a quality guarantee of up to 100 years, ensuring that our product lasts a lifetime and remains completely corrosion resistent.

What might initially resemble generic rust is simply the air and water-tight patina forming over a six month period, so dont panic! Your Metalbird is doing exactly what its been designed to do, and this patina will protect the steel from any further damage and disintegration.

CorTen steel does not require any treatments, oils or chemical additives and is therefore extremely environmentally friendly.
