Our quail weathervanes are very popular. You will see many of the designs we have created through the years in the Gallery below. Featured here is a California quail family, Coturnix coturnix. The parents spin in the wind, keeping track of their four chicks, one on each of the four directionals. We can detail your weathervane to represent either California Quail or Gambels Quail, depending on which bird is native to your area.
This quail tableau was originally commissioned by a family with four children. On each of the directionals the name of a child is inscribed. A charming enhancement is optional gold leaf accenting the distinctive markings for which each bird is known. Our most popular gilding option is the topknot, beak and legs. The eyes are glass, and are available in a nice range of colors. The bar beneath the birds feet can also be inscribed.
The quail are crafted in copper in the swell bodied technique, free hand style, by our wonderful artisans. As a result, though each of our weather vanes is part of a limited number series, no two are ever 
exactly alike. When ordering you will have the option of including “Lucky” Pennies of significant dates along with the penny from the year of manufacture that will be sealed into your sculpture piece. Some choose to put pennies in each of the birds representing the children and parents representing their family.
Our quail weathervanes have taken residence in diverse locations. They show and function beautifully at ground level, on fences and decks, and certainly on roof tops.
Quail is a collective name for several genera of mid-sized birds in the pheasant family Phasianidae, or in the family Odontophoridae. The California Quail, Callipepla californica, also known as the California Valley Quail or Valley Quail, is a small ground-dwelling bird in the New World quail family. It is the state bird of California.
