Flapping Wings Garden Bird Decoration

This Bird Decoration from Velleora Home Decor has wings that lift and beat in the wind, so the bird appears to be in flight rather than sitting static on a stake like a garden ornament.

Motion is what makes it read as a living thing from a distance, and it is also what makes it work incidentally as a deterrent - other birds treat sudden movement in a border with caution, so a fruit bed or a seedling tray gets some protection alongside the decoration.

Three designs are offered. The finish is weatherproofed for permanent outdoor use and the pivot is built to keep moving rather than seizing after a wet season. Mount it on a stake in a border, a fence post or a planter where the wind can reach it, sited clear of paths and windows, and check the pivot occasionally through winter.
