Bat Family Weathervane

Our original Bat weathervane consisted of a parent bat and two baby bats. It was commissioned by a family with two children. Another customer saw the Bat Family weathervane and requested that we make him a weathervane showcasing just a single bat. He ordered his in the small (one-foot sculpture piece) size and mounted it on his deck railing. We recently finished a version of this design for a couple in France who reside in an area with numerous bat colonies.

Interestingly, many of the customer who ordered our bat weathervane have ordered other weathervanes at the same time. One customer ordered a Raven weathervane and another customer ordered a Dragonfly weathervane.

The Bat weathervane featured here has brown glass eyes with black pupils and optional gold leaf on the bat’s inner wing panels and the arrow tip and fletching.

Recently, one of our customers sent us some photos of their Bat Weathervane, along with the following comments:

"Finally I have pictures of the Bat who, just today, found his way to our rooftop! We had a superb day with sun and little wind which allowed my patient handy man (and gardener) Jerome to get the installation just right. I think you can see that he (the Bat, not Jerome) is spectacular in his new home! I cannot tell you how delighted I am with the vane and my patient Jerome just returned from lunch in the village and remarked that he saw the gold flashing from the next mountaintop!

I think when my husband finally sees the vane; he will be thrilled and amazed. The gold made all the difference! You guys were delightful to work with and the customized mount made us able to get the vane up even though the European mounting system is much different than the US system. Thanks again for this work of art….now that we see the effect, we will think on our next vane….though it would be hard to beat a flashing gold bat catching the Provencal sun! "

Warmest regards, Michelle

A bat is a mammal in the order Chiroptera. Their most distinguishing feature is that their forelimbs are developed as wings, making them the only mammals in the world naturally capable of flight (though other mammals, such as flying squirrels and gliding flying possums, can glide for limited distances). The word Chiroptera comes from the Greek words cheir "hand" and pteron "wing," as the structure of the open wing is very similar to an outspread human hand with a membrane (patagium) between the fingers that also stretches between hand and body.
