I sprayed 4 coats of a clear shellac on it to keep it from turning black/green over time. That will need to be reapplied every couple of years or so, but we like the shiny copper color so it will be worth the effort for us.

Was so excited to purchase this. Loved the heron. It was installed about a year and a half ago and we enjoyed it until about a month ago. On a windy day it flew off the roof because of a break in the small attachment of the bird to the roof attached post. Flew off again just today and I’m worried this flying copper bird could damage someone’s house or person when landing on the ground. Very dangerous. Planning on contacting the manufacturer to see if they remedy the situation or not. Will keep you posted. Other than the danger, its lovely

I ordered the same one 5 years ago.A tree feel on my Cupola and smashed the weather vain is why I re-ordered another one.It’s held up perfectly these years despite the tree incident.

Good quality construction. Instructions straight forward. Took a little bit to arrive but I believe it was on time.

Awesome Quality For Price! I put it together in no time. Easy Assembly. And put a spray varnish on it to help protect it from weather. It spins in the direction of the wind with no issue and it looks great on my shed roof from the house and street. Many positiive comments. Its a good large size weathervane. YOu will like it. I think.

I love this blue heron! Well crafted, heavy and stately! I called the company where this heron came from and they were very helpful picking out the correct size cupola for our boat dock. They also super imposed a cupola on a picture of our dock to help with visuals. I would highly recommend this particular company. The blue heron does move and points in the direction of the wind. I also wiped pickle juice on copper and it looks as if it will very quickly turn patina, some places were turning before we even got it up there. The company who constructed our boat dock put cupola & weather vane on roof for us, he said it went up with no problem and was relatively easy. I did buy the additional piece needed for installation.

Ordered one which arrived with a bent directional arrow, so ordered the second and it was bent, too.

Update: I received and installed a replacement weathervane (see original review) five weeks ago and it works well and looks great. The replacement's central rod seemed to be attached differently than the first one. Even with the hassle associated with installing, then removing and returning the initial herron, I'm glad I gave this item a second chance. It's starting to develop a nice patina and I expect it to last many years.Original Review: I liked the look of this weathervane, and after considering its reviews, ordered it. I installed it carefully and correctly less than one week ago. It looked great, pointed its beak smoothly into the breeze as expected, and I assumed I would enjoy it for many years to come. But yesterday I noticed that the bird’s legs appeared to be hanging a bit low. At first, I thought I was seeing things but eventually I setup the ladder and went on the roof to have a look. When I touched the heron it nearly came off in my hands. Upon closer inspection, I found missing solder and a badly rusted connection inside the bird. Please note that it had been on my roof for less than a week. I plan to give Good Directions one more shot. I’ll revise my review once I confirm that the first weathervane was a fluke.

Considering the relatively inexpensive price for what appears as a worthy piece of craftsmanship a 5-Star rating is deserved. Well-polished copper, if only copper-itself wouldn't stay that way forever. Debated clear-coat spray paint, or car-waxing plus a clear-coat rub on sealer product: Opted for a car wax cleaner/polish, then overcoated twice with a rub-on acrylic car-finish with hopes of sustaining polish for maybe a year.As much thought appears to have gone into the large shipping container, as the product itself - a noteworthy sign of a company with quality-control at the forefront of sales. Responsive customer support to a submitted question about an attempt to preserve the polished copper.Size choice of any weather vane: always pick the largest; once mounted high up on a barn, garage or any building - the big, somewhat bulky object to handle... becomes relatively small in scale when it's located "up in the sky."
