This little fella weighs in at a whopping 0.1oz which is about 35% less than the weight of a nickel! But don’t let their size fool you… they’re 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 don’t think so and having one permanently in your backyard will remind you of just how amazing our world is!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis Hummingbird is:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4.3 inches high by 5.5 inches wide\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003edoesn't include measurement of the branch\/spike (which is 8.3\" long\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEasily installed with the tap of a hammer (pre-drill hard wood)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDesigned in 1\/7-inch Corten® steel to form a beautiful patina of rust that changes with the seasons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMakes a great gift for a fearless adventurer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e🇨🇦 Proudly Made in Canada\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"corteen-wrapper\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMetalbird is a Sustainable Company\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMetalbird wants to give you a more detailed understanding of their stance on sustainability, and why it’s so important to them, as a business and as individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSee, they don’t think it’s fair to create bird silhouettes inspired by real native birds, at the cost of their environment. They also believe that every business, big and small, has a responsibility towards the earth.
