Whirligigs:
Whirligigs are wind-driven spinning mechanisms devised historically by sailors and farmers.
See the Wikipedia Whirligig page: HERE.
These Whirligigs are hand carved in Java from teak. After arriving in Seattle, they are adjusted to ensure excellent operating condition. When installed outside in a garden the paint will eventually wear away, but the Whirligig will last for many years because of the natural weather resistant properties of teak.
There are three different options for mounting the Whirligigs, shown HERE.
