Don’t you just love this rooster? It is as high as I am. It stands at the entrance to Henley Brook tavern where we stopped on the way home from our bus trip to the Swan Valley recently.
It was a weekday and not particularly busy but, judging by the long tables in the covered areas outside, they must get a lot of custom on the weekends.
I guess the association with the rooster comes from the place being locally as ‘the Hen’ and a good place to ‘roost’ for a while. Whatever. It’s a great looking bird.

@JudyEv Flamingos, of course, cranes, peacocks…. I left them out last year during the winter, and my son told me most got heaved up and fell over when the ground froze. He was right. This past fall I stored all my garden sculptures in my garage.
I haven’t specifically taken photos of them, but they may show up within my flower photos.

I truly do. I used to have a collection of them in my kitchen. A good place to 'roost'. That's good.

Being so big, it really makes a statement at the entrance.

I might look for one for my garden but maybe a bit smaller.
