What are 'Seconds'?Updated 4 days ago

(Slightly flawed, still full of character)

Every now and then, a Metalbird comes off the bench with a small imperfection. A scratch. A tiny dent. Maybe the steel just cooled a bit funny. Nothing that affects how it installs or how it weathers — but not quite sharp enough to make it into a full-priced box.

We call these birds Seconds. Same premium 3mm Corten steel. Same silhouette. Same lifetime durability. They just have a few cosmetic quirks that give them a bit more personality.

Once installed, most people would never notice the difference. The natural patina that forms over time blends out most imperfections anyway. The bird you see at first isn't the bird you’ll end up with — and that's the whole idea.

So why offer them? Because we hate waste. Rather than toss perfectly good birds into scrap, we give them a second chance to fly — and you get a deal in the process. It’s a win for your wallet and the planet.

Here’s what you need to know before buying a Second:

• All Seconds are final sale — no returns, refunds, or exchanges.

• They’re not eligible for additional discounts.

• They sell out quickly, so if you see one you like, grab it.

If you’re after pristine perfection, stick with our full-range lineup. But if you're into smart savings, character, and a bit of unpredictability, a Second might just be the best bird for the job.
