Hi,

I think it is also called a whirligig.

A whirligig is a device, moved by the wind, which whirls and turns on a pivot. Many are simple in design but you do get very elaborate ones.

Hope this helps. There is a lovely book called the whirligig which is great for teens.

Hope this helps. Have a great day.
