The details

Some bird baths earn their spot on looks alone. This one carries a wide, hammered copper-finish bowl on a slim black stake, and the dimpled metal catches low evening light in a way plain plastic never will. Robins and blackbirds are not fussy about finish, but they do like a wide, shallow bowl with a solid rim to land on, and this has both.

The generous diameter gives bathing birds room to flap properly, while the shallow depth keeps things safe for the smallest visitors. Stand it near a border, keep the water topped up, and it pays its way in colour and company all year.

Questions about this piece

How deep should the water be in the Hammered Copper Bird Bath?

Two to five centimetres at the deepest point. Birds bathe standing up, so anything deeper is unusable and unsafe for smaller species. If the bowl is deep, set a flat stone or a layer of gravel in it to make a shallow shelf they can stand on comfortably.

Where should I put the Hammered Copper Bird Bath?

In the open, with a clear view all round so nothing can approach a drinking bird unseen, and a shrub or low branch two or three metres away to preen in. Never site it right against a hedge or dense border — that is exactly where a cat will wait.

How often should I clean the Hammered Copper Bird Bath?

Change the water every two or three days and scrub the bowl weekly with a stiff brush and hot water. Never use detergent or algaecide — both are harmful to birds. Keeping it out of full afternoon sun slows algae noticeably and cuts the scrubbing down a good deal.
