When it's too cold and wet to do anything else, I build whirlys. Built about 20 over the winter, gave most away as gifts. Got a couple down at the local nursing home, and usually build 2 or more if I am building a certain one. The fans are to try to keep crows out of the garden--jury is still out on that one.
I've done some more elaborate ones--a farmer being kicked by a jackass, but those type have linkage and little cams, and the heavy winds here destroy them in short order.
Made a bunny for my niece that the ears whirled around--turned out pretty good but no pic, and did a pelican for my brother down at Bolivar peninsula.
