Whirligigs make wonderful gifts!

Flying Sea Gull Whirligig - This ocean loving Sea Gull will remind you of a day collecting sea shells on the coast. The Classic Flying Sea Gull Whirligig has wing propellers on each side of the bird. The slightest breeze will make the Sea Gull wings spin!

This whirligig is 19.5” long. Crafted out of strong white pine and sealed with durable acrylic enamel paint this whirly bird is designed to last. Each whirligig has a peg which is approximately 1 inch in length which can be used to mount the item to a wood post, pole, stake or deck rail. Proudly made in the USA!

Dimensions: 19.5"L x 7'W x 18.5" wing

Note: Ships dimensional oversized. Additional freight may be required depending on order size and destination zone.

Optional mounts and extra propeller sets available at checkout!

Replacement Wings Set of 2 (Available at checkout) - The Whirligig wing propeller, like all components of our Whirligigs are constructed of durable materials made to last. However, for whatever reason, you may need to replace a wing propeller down the road. The extra wing propellers might come in handy!

Yard Mounting (Do-it-Yourself): Select a post or pole desired, for mounting. Posts or stakes that are 1 ½“ to 2” in diameter are best. Pre-drill the post or pole to prevent splitting. (3/16” drill bit) Set the supplied 20d mounting nail in the center of the post being careful that the nail and post are exactly vertical to prevent the unit from dropping excessively in any direction. When mounted correctly on the vertical nail, the Whirligig will swivel (weathervane) freely into the breeze.

What are Whirligigs?

Whirligigs are whimsical, wind-driven expressions of American folk art that first appeared in this country nearly 200 years ago. Traditional designs depict common characters and activities of early American rural life, from farmers milking cows to lumbermen chopping wood. Old-timers called them “comic weathervanes”. The faster the wind blows, the more furiously the figures move. In some parts of the country, whirligigs are known as buzzers, gee-haws, spinners, pinwheels, whirlybirds, or whirlygigs. Some swear the resulting vibration also drives away moles. Whatever their practical use, the pure pleasure of watching these brightly painted wind toys explains their timeless popularity.
