BIRD BATH RUSTIC
Vines, Blossom, and a Bird Already There
Vines climb the trunk carrying small pink flowers, a cream blossom opens at the base, and a blue bird sits under the rim as though it landed a moment ago and stayed.
The basin is woven rather than carved, twigs crossing over each other to form the bowl, so the whole piece reads as something a garden grew rather than something delivered.
This is the decorated one of the trunk designs, and that is a decision about where it goes. It wants planting around it. In a cottage border with roses behind it, it belongs. On bare paving it looks like it wandered off.
What Makes This Bird Bath Different
- A bird already on it, before any real ones arrive. The cast bluebird sits under the rim rather than on top of it, tucked in the way a real bird shelters. A bird bath with nothing on it looks empty until it is used. This one looks occupied from the day it arrives, and real birds are more inclined to approach water that already has a bird shape at it.
- A woven basin, not a carved bowl. Twigs cross over each other to form the rim, giving an uneven edge that wet feet grip far better than smooth stone.
- Vines and blossom on the trunk. Pink flowers on climbing stems and a cream bloom at the base. It is the most decorated of the trunk designs, which is exactly what suits a planted border.
- Fill to two inches, not to the brim. Chickadees stand between the woven twigs and sip, robins get right in. Filled to the top it becomes a drinking stop.
A cottage border, among roses, in planting that is already full. This one wants flowers around it rather than paving under it. Twenty four inches is a safe height for birds. Leave open ground on the approach side and keep a shrub within a short flight for cover.

Setup, Care, and Warranty
Setup and placement
Two pieces, no tools. The woven basin seats onto the trunk.
Turn the cast bird and the blossom toward where people pass. From the other side it is a plain trunk.
Filling it
Two inches is the number. Birds wade rather than swim. The woven rim gives good grip once feet are wet.
Keeping the colour bright
The vines and blossom are hand painted. A soft brush and plain water every couple of weeks, and afternoon shade holds the pinks at their best for longer.
Winter
Drain the basin before the first hard frost and leave it empty or turned over. Check the woven recesses are clear when you drain it.

Questions Before You Choose
Is the bird removable?
No, it is cast as part of the piece under the rim. Nothing to knock off and nothing to lose.
How does it compare to the other trunk designs?
This is the decorated one, with vines, blossom and a cast bird. The carved version is plain and suits paving. The woodland version has deep bark and two birds and reads as the most natural of the three.
Where does it belong?
In planting rather than on paving. A cottage border, among roses, anywhere with flowers already around it.
Will birds actually use it?
The woven rim gives better grip than smooth stone, which matters once feet are wet. Fill to two inches, keep the approach open, and have cover within a short flight.
