Whirlygig patterns?

[dunk]

I'm going to have a large garden this year and I already have a ton of bird houses so the two are not going to go together very well.  I am looking for some whirlygig plans that will help keep the birds at bay.  Perhaps someone who has already built a few to mentor in the event I have questions during my build.
I tried to search Steve's blog but nothing came back.


edited for clarification...

I made a whirligig a few years ago....
No pattern, just an idea that I had. 






Just teasing.  I know that is not what you had in mind. 
I just can't help myself sometimes.
Yes, it is still standing. I made it in 2011. It was number two. The first one crashed so many times over the period of three years that it was beyond repair. I live in Kansas and we get some fairly strong breezes from time to time.

P.S.  And then again sometimes we DON'T get any wind....Just ICE!




This was "Old Brezzy" number one and another reason it doesn't stand any longer.

Thanks fellahs I have both of those links and the winfield catalog.  I was hoping to find someone who has built one or two and could be a mentor i should have been  more clear in my first post.  I apologize.

Roger love it great job.

Ha!  I built one many years ago, it was a man sawing wood.  It lasted about two years and the wood started splitting and fell apart.  I remember it was fun to build, my neighbors and I got a kick out of watching it, especially in a higher wind.  The old guy would really saw!  My only advice is pick good wood to build it out of that doesn't split.  I used pine.
