Llama Weathervane
Among our earliest weathervane designs were Llamas and Alpacas so these animals have a special place in our hearts .
The llama (Lama glama) is a quadruped. It is a large camelid that originated in North America and then later on moved on to South America. The term llama is sometimes used more broadly, to indicate any of the four closely related animals that make up the South American branch of the family Camelidae: the true llama, the vicuña, alpaca, and guanaco. They were used as a system of transportation for the Incas.
Differentiating characteristics between llamas and alpacas are that llamas are larger and have more elongated heads. Alpacas are sometimes considered to have more valuable fiber, as it is typically finer than that of a llama. Alpacas also tend to have darker fur than that of llamas. The most apparent visual difference between llamas and camels is that camels have a hump or humps and llamas do not.

Llama Weathervane, Photo with Customers |
Back in 1988, we sold our very first weathervane at a llama show. To commemorate the moment, a friend took this Polaroid photo (at left) of our first customers. It was an incredibly exciting moment for us - I don't think either of us slept a wink that night! The photo on the right, shows the llama weathervane on top of their home in Bend, Oregon.
