A closer look and I realized that they were chimney pots designed to rotate with the changing winds. A good idea in a place like Arachova where winds can, and did on Saturday, reach tree toppling force.
These stylized birds may not be the traditional chimney pot but serve the same purpose: stopping down drafts, debris and real birds from entering the chimney.
The odd one had a more hawk-like aspect which no doubt kept the other birds at bay most effectively.25 novembre - Santa Caterina d'Alessandria

What beautiful scenary for those fake birds to enjoy everyday.
Actually, I think they're quite attractive myself.
hahah i could just imagine you shaking your head in disbelief and asking Laurent "what the hell are those?"
i'm sure the morning coffee helped afterwards.... =)

I like them. At our local Albertson's (big cheap grocery store) they have fake owls up on the store sign. I guess to keep pigeons from crapping down the face of Albertsons.
