Whimsical

a deer chaser is an ancient element of a japanese garden. They are made of bamboo and work much like those litte birds you put on a glass of water and it perpetually tips back and forth, looking like its drinking water. Except these are usually around 2 feet tall. They traditionally are fed by a stream, but now most are just powered by a small aquarium/fountain pump. You will see exactly what I'm talking about when you goto the library. They are almost as common of an element as a stone lantern.

The airlayer will have to stay on the tree for a few months. There are good threads here about air layering. That is a good idea. You can get the tree the exact size you want it for free. Make sure you have everything really planned out before you even sink a shovel in the dirt.
