Duck Weathervanes

A duck weathervane in any pose will be a welcome addition to a home or garden. It's the perfect way to express your appreciation for the understated beauty of these feathered creatures. Duck weathervanes are available in many flying positions, materials, and finishes.

Duck positions
Duck weathervanes are created in one of three positions. These are flying, landing and resting. There are certainly variations within each position that artfully capture the agility and grace of these spectacular birds. Some duck weathervanes are frozen in a moment of flight with wings lifted high. Landing ducks are captured at the end of a long flight, when they're preparing to touch down. Their webbed feet are stretched out and their heads and necks are in a bowing position. The replica of these actions is very impressive. A resting duck is depicted with its neck upright or bowed down as if drinking. Any of these masterfully crafted representations will look stunning on the rooftop or in the garden.

Materials and finishes
Copper is a popular material used in duck weathervanes. It's well loved for its durability and natural weathering process. In verdigris or polished finishes, many copper weathervanes are accented with brass detailing. A duck weathervane crafted from copper with a green patina finish will add character to any home or garden. Many people prefer the patina finish for its antique look. Aluminum is another popular material used. It is known for its strength and rust resistance. These duck weathervanes are usually painted in vivid color by skilled artists. Steel is also used in weathervane making. Steel weathervanes are very strong and many are crafted with powder coat finishes for protection from the elements.
