The details

Blackbirds bathe with real enthusiasm, and a pedestal bath gives them the stage to do it. This vintage-style iron bird bath stands tall on your patch: push the pronged base firmly into lawn or border. The shallow bowl is the right depth for garden birds to drink and bathe safely, and the raised height keeps them clear of cats. The pronged iron base holds it steady in wind, while the classic finish looks like it has always belonged in the garden. Water matters as much as food, especially in dry spells and hard frosts. Delivered within 7 days, so the bathing can start soon.

  • Pronged base pushes into lawn or border for a firm hold
  • Shallow bowl lets birds drink and bathe safely
  • Raised height keeps bathing birds clear of cats
  • Sturdy iron frame stays steady in wind
  • Classic finish suits traditional and modern gardens
  • Easy to empty, rinse and refill

Common questions

Questions about this piece

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.

Powder-coated and galvanised steel holds up for years in British weather. Rust normally starts where the coating is chipped or at the fixings, so check the hook, chain and clips each spring. A bare cast-iron piece will develop a rusty patina, which is expected and harms nothing.

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.
