Weather Vane - Rooster - Raw Finish - Functional

Roosters were commonly used as weather vanes on churches in both Europe and America for hundreds of years. Roosters are useful as wind vanes because their tail is the perfect shape to catch the wind. Symbolically, the rooster is the first to see the rising sun and announce the day. In modern times, they are mostly used as architectural ornament, but they have always provided a means for showing the direction of the wind. With careful and consistent observation, a weather vane can help indicate a storm is coming, or that a cold snap is on the way. Our rooster is a very handsome bird, a classy addition to your roof, and indicates the direction wind direction accurately.
