The Bald Eagle whirligigs is one of my older ones and has jut undergone a minor painting modification to add some gold-colored metallic trim to accent the wings. As the national bird of the United States of America it's image is well known and respected. As a resident of the Pacific northwest it presence is a regular reminder of just how magnificent these birds really are. WhirligigsWest has evolved from years of making whirligigs as gifts for friends and family to listening to a friend that said, "You ought to sell these on Etsy." After asking what an Etsy was and doing a little research I jumped into this venture where people actually reimburse me for doing something that I love. All of my birds and now kayaks and other items are from original drawings and not from some mass produced pattern that can be found elsewhere, and a significant number of my items actually arose from people simply asking if I could make _______________ (fill in the blank). It is my objective to make every offering such that you can look at it and say, "Yes, that's a ___________ and it really looks like one." I seal each piece of wood, use acrylic paints and then finish with several layers of a non-yellowing clear-coat. The wings are made of an all-weather material and freely spin in the breeze. The whirligigs are mounted with a nylon spacer allowing them to continue to rotate in order to catch the wind. Every item is made to order and will ship generally within two to three weeks of the placing of the order unless specified otherwise. As this is secondary to my primary occupation, I do my best to get them out as timely as possible. Like much of the online world, Etsy has encouraged a switch over to "Free Shipping" in the U.S.. In reality for small shops such as mine where everything is made on a thin margin, our only option was to increase our pricing to include a representative shipping for all zones. With continued increases in shipping by the postal service this has consumed an even greater portion of the cost. Thank you for visiting my Etsy shop, and I look forward to serving and re-serving each of you. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Taken at the Hong Kong Flower Show The columbine flower has frequently been linked to birds. Its scientific name, aquilegia, is taken from the Latin word for eagle, which is namely due to the showy spurs, which some feel look similar to an eagle’s sharp, pointed talons. On the other hand, the name columbine is derived from the Latin word columba, which is a reference to doves.
A very special THANK YOU to Patblo
When a storm is coming, other birds seek their shelter. The eagle alone avoids the storm by flying above it.
