CARDINAL

Ahh, the Cardinal. One of America’s favorite backyard birds, marking spring with a blaze of color, a "what-cheer, cheer, cheer" and a "purty purty purty". Super-breeder Cardinal raises 2-3 broods each season.

Our Cardinal is:

✓ 9.5 inches high by 4 inches wide (exl. the branch), approximately 8oz
✓ Easy to send our regular boxes are standard letter size, measuring 11" x 8" x 1/4"
✓Crafted from American-made 1/8-inch Corten steel and designed to last a lifetime

The Northern Cardinal is so loved it has been named the official bird of no fewer than seven eastern states and mascot to sports teams throughout the land. Go the Cardinal for your backyard! Also a great gift for the sport-lover in your life.

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 don’t panic! Your Metalbird is doing exactly what it’s 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.
