Baby Cardinal Spinner

These are not only cute in my yard but the keep moles cleared out. I have used them for years for mole control & it works. I do move them around occasionally to help. Ground spinners or Whirlygigs I'll take 'em!!!

This spinner looks and works great.

The birds have been enjoying themselves nipping on some of my flowr beds - decided to purchase this cute spinner.. So far it has been doing its job keeping the birds from landing on the flowers... Very easy to assemble and spins nicely even on a slight breeze... Will no doubt be purchasing another for another location..

I wish I could give a rating of 4.5 stars for this. It is super cute, the colors are vibrant & the fabric is sewn together (instead of glued). Even if it only lasts through one growing season, it's a bargain compared to the cost of a floral hanging basket to supply color in my planting beds. It spins really well; even a slight breeze can get the wings moving. I cannot in good conscience award it 5 stars though because putting the pegs of the individual wings into the tiny holes was such a pain in the ... (you know where). Additionally, the maker suggested they be glued into place to insure they remained attached in high winds. In trying to accomplish this, I ended up with gorilla glue all over my fingers. That stuff does NOT wash off, in fact water helps "cure" the adhesive. Even paint thinner wouldn't get it off. I had to just let it wear off (with me picking at it almost non-stop) over the next few days since I had made the decision to work without gloves. Happily, I can report that the glue is doing its job at keeping the wings attached through a couple of severe storms with drenching downpours & heavy winds.

I love my Parrot Baby & he is the perfect companion to my Parrot on a Bike. That being said, I only gave it 3/5 stars! My reasoning is because of several things. The entire spinner bird & pole together is only 17" I thought the mounting pole was 17" & then put part of that pole into the ground & it barely cleared my garden border plantings. #2 - It would have been nice if they also included the ground stake that is included with the larger spinners for both support & easier removal when I bring them in when the landscaper comes or we have a wind storm. Other then that, it is a quality product! ***Now for the fix, to save you all time & money!!*** I needed to make this guy higher so here's how I did that. First - the mounting pole is hollow, but a very small opening. After experimenting with several things from the hardware store & not judging the size of the opening properly as I should have brought the pole with me, this is what worked for me. You need black electrically tape, a black straw, a green METAL garden stake, ( get as tall as you like, I got the one with the loop as I didn't see straight ones. My husband used a power hack saw & cut off the loop for me) I inserted the green garden stake into the mounting pole to my desired height. Taped the pole & stake together to secure. Then I covered the green metal with a black straw, to give the stake the appearance of the same thickness & taped that down to the level of where I will put the green stake into the ground. This worked well & I will do the same if I purchase other similar products. I also have not had a problem with the wings turning, but I do see how this could occur, which could be simply fixed in the future by either the manufacturer or consumer by adding a washer in front of the wing gear. One more thing!! The manufacturers assembly directions recommend gluing the wings into the gears - My Suggestion - assemble the wings WIthout gluing first, till its set up in the angle you want -THEN carefully glue each into position! I found that a good breeze can make those wings pop out & then you'll be searching the lawn for them! Or in my case, one blew across my yard under my neighbors car & on the other side of her driveway!! Do it! You don't want a bird with no wings!! 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ because of the amount of extra work I had to do before being able to use it!!! Otherwise very cute!

They last about 2 yrs. Nice feature for my yard. Glad the price came down

Took some doing, but figured it out. Where the directions say “diagonally “ it means this: there are 2 hubs on the main body. Take a wing and put one wire end in a hole on the front hub. Then take the other wire end and put it in a hole one hole off , not directly across from, on the back hub. The hubs are faintly marked with white paint to get you started. I only figured this out by looking at a larger version of this spinner I already have which came pre-assembled. Once put together, it spins great just like this company’s other items. Great product!

Very small and the wings don't stay in the holder.

外枠はプラスチック羽や風車はナイロン製の布ですので天候に関係なく外へ出しています。風が吹くと羽が回り風の向きが変わると、あちらを向いたりこちらを向いたりで楽しめます。我が家１階なのでベランダから１メートルほど先に、３メートル程の高さに設置して楽しんでいます。

Love it. So cheerful, gives wind direction and speed better than a weathervane. Survives up to 40km winds, but wings dismantle beyond this, but clip back in again easily. It is my garden mascot.

Me gusto porque adorna muy bien el jardin...!!!

I almost gave up, it was a real challenge to get the wings str-e-t-c-h-ed to the correct positions. But, once installed, such a cute bug! It spins, but does not rotate, which I knew. We installed it on a thinner metal rod we had here, and now it swirls and spins in the lightest breeze. Brand new, cannot comment on longevity, but the material in the wings seems fine! Love it.

Me ha parecido una buena compra, quizá la esperaba un poco más grande, pero está bien.
