Love this bird thread. We lost numerous Davis windvanes to birds 
including one night when I think was a blue heron tried to land on it in 
the middle of the night while we were at anchor - judging from the to 
the "squonk!!" and the flapping as it flew off. Probably should have 
tried one with the spike but went to a Davis Spar-fly instead which 
worked well but the 'fly' part of it wasn't very UV resistant.

And of course you've mostly all heard the duck story.
