The weather vane
is one of the oldest weather tools. Weather vanes are also known
as wind vanes, whirligigs or weathercocks. Traditionally they
often had a cockerel on top of the compass. Their function is
to show the direction in which the wind is blowing, helping
to forecast weather conditions.
With a range of subjects from witty to elegant, and modeling
from naive to intricate, it's little wonder that weather vanes
have been popular with collectors for decades. "Weather
vanes are a great addition to any decor, whatever the style,"
There are various
type of weather vanes available like Aquatic weather vanes,
Domestic animal weather vanes, Wild animal weather vanes, Bird
weather vanes, Human weather vanes, Mythological weather vanes,
Transportation weather vanes and other weather vanes.
Weather vanes can be fixed to a roof, chimney, cupola, tower,
post, wall, shed or gazebo.
