RESIN BIRD BATHS
Two Birds Cast Onto the Rim, and a Planter Underneath
Two small birds sit on the edge of a fluted bronze basin, cast into it rather than perched on top. At ground level the base opens into a bowl that takes soil, and in the photograph it is planted with pink daisies.
So there are two things happening on one post. Water at 28 inches for the birds, planting at ground level for you. In a small garden that is one position instead of two.
Four point four pounds. The whole piece lifts with one hand, which is what makes a balcony, a deck or a rented garden possible.
What Makes This Bird Bath Different
- A planting bowl at the base, not a decorative foot. The base opens into a real bowl that holds soil and plants. Most bird baths give you a solid disc doing nothing. This gives you a bath at bird height and a planter at ground level on the same footprint, which is the difference between one object and two in a garden that has room for one.
- The birds are cast into the rim. They sit as part of the casting rather than being glued on, so nothing can be knocked off and there is no join to notice at close range.
- Four and a half pounds. One hand carries it out, one hand brings it in for winter. Concrete at this height is a two person job and a permanent decision.
- Fill to two inches, not to the brim. At that depth chickadees stand on the fluted rim and sip, robins get right in. Filled to the top it becomes a drinking stop.
Against a wall, a hedge or within planting rather than free standing in wind, since 4.4 pounds moves in a gust. Planting the base bowl adds weight low down and helps. Balconies, decks and small paved gardens all suit it. Leave open ground on the approach side and keep cover within a short flight.

Setup, Care, and Warranty
Setup and placement
Assembly is required and takes no tools. Set it on level solid ground.
Plant the base bowl. Soil low down steadies a light piece and it is the reason the base is a bowl rather than a disc.
Filling it
Two inches is the number. Birds wade rather than swim. Water also adds weight, which helps at this size.
Planting the base
The bowl is shallow and dries faster than a deep pot, so drought tolerant bedding or trailing plants cope better than anything thirsty. Water it separately from the bath.
Winter
Drain the basin before the first hard frost. At 4.4 pounds it is easy to bring inside for the season, and the base bowl can be emptied or replanted.

Questions Before You Choose
Can you really plant the base?
Yes, it is a bowl rather than a solid foot. It takes soil and bedding plants, and planting it adds useful weight low down on a light piece.
Is it metal?
Resin with an antique bronze finish. That is what keeps it to 4.4 pounds, which is why it works on a balcony or a deck.
Are the birds removable?
No, they are cast into the rim as part of the piece. Nothing to lose and nothing to knock off.
Will it stay put outside?
Against a wall or within planting, yes. Free standing in an exposed spot, no. Plant the base and keep the bath filled and it holds well in a sheltered position.
