Wetter Gans (1999)

The Weather-bird not only rotates like the universal weathercock, but also lifts its tail, lowers its head and spreads its wings. The wind force grasps its tail, presses by rhomboids and cardan joints respectively the other mobile parts into flying position. Note the peculiar speading of the wings being caused by turning of one single axis.
