The local coffee shop has no ideas what this could be. A friend bought three at an auction and I sandblasted them for him - so he gave me one. They are aluminum, have threaded (narrow) holes on each pole, are hollow and 12" in diameter. Someone thought they were some sort of buoys. Who knows?

And I need ideas - what should I make with it, garden related. The friend is using his as water fountains - one bubbler and one a spray. I thought of a bird body, that's it, so help please!
