Product Details

Dimensions are approximate.

Placement

Position the birdbath on a firm, level surface where it cannot rock or tip. Place it where birds have a clear view of their surroundings, with shrubs or other shelter available nearby.

A lightly shaded position can help keep the water cooler and reduce evaporation during hot weather. Avoid placing the metal basin where it will become excessively hot in strong reflected sunlight.

Place the birdbath in its intended position before filling it with water.

Using the Birdbath

Add a shallow level of clean water suitable for small garden birds. Avoid overfilling the basin.

Refresh the water regularly, particularly during warm weather. Remove leaves, droppings and other debris as required to help keep the water fresh.

A clean, flat stone may be placed securely in the basin to provide additional footing for smaller birds. Ensure that any added stone is stable and has no sharp edges.

Cleaning and Care

Empty and rinse the basin regularly. Scrub it with a dedicated brush and clean water to remove dirt and organic buildup.

Avoid leaving stagnant water in the basin for extended periods. Do not add pesticides, fertilisers, pool chemicals, fragrances or decorative water treatments.

Cast iron naturally develops surface weathering when exposed to moisture and outdoor conditions. This can add to its rustic appearance but may gradually change the original finish.

To help preserve the finish:

• Keep the birdbath clean and remove standing debris
• Allow it to dry periodically
• Touch up chipped areas with a suitable exterior metal coating
• Use only protective coatings confirmed by their manufacturer as suitable for the intended outdoor use
• Allow any coating to cure completely before adding water
• Empty the basin during severe frost to reduce the risk of damage from freezing water

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the birdbath made from?
It is made from cast iron with a rustic bronze-coloured finish.

Is it made from solid bronze?
No. “Bronze” describes the colour and finish. The main material is cast iron.

How large is it?
It measures approximately 50cm high and 28cm wide.

Is the decorative bird included?
Yes. The bird figurine forms part of the birdbath design and is positioned on the edge of the basin.

Can it remain outdoors?
Yes, it is intended as an outdoor garden feature. Cast iron and its painted finish will naturally weather over time when exposed to sun, rain and moisture.

Will it rust?
Cast iron can develop surface rust as it weathers. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help preserve the finish, while some customers may prefer the increasingly aged appearance.

Where should I position it?
Place it on a firm, level surface in a visible but relatively sheltered area. Light shade can help keep the water cooler during hot weather.

How much water should I add?
Use a shallow level of clean water that allows small birds to stand and bathe comfortably. Avoid filling the basin deeply.

How often should the water be changed?
Refresh it regularly and more frequently during hot weather or whenever it becomes dirty.

How should it be cleaned?
Empty the basin and scrub it with a dedicated brush and clean water. Remove leaves, droppings and other buildup before refilling.

Can it be used as a bird feeder?
It is designed primarily as a birdbath. Keeping food separate from drinking and bathing water makes cleaning easier and helps prevent contamination.

Is it suitable for a balcony or patio?
Yes, provided it is placed on a stable, level surface capable of supporting its weight and any spilled water can drain safely.

Please Note

The birdbath shown is the product design supplied. Small variations in finish, colouring and surface texture may occur naturally between individual items.

The rustic finish will change with outdoor exposure. Cast iron may develop surface oxidation over time, particularly in coastal, humid or wet conditions.

This listing includes one birdbath only. Water, stones, plants and surrounding decorations are not included.
