The details

One bowl is a bath. Three bowls at different heights is a meeting place. This stake carries three rust-finish steel bowls staggered up the pole, so a blackbird can bathe in the big one while blue tits queue on the smaller two. The weathered corten-style finish sits beautifully against green planting and only looks better as the seasons pass.

The pointed stake pushes into lawn or border in seconds, and each bowl is shallow enough for small birds to use safely. Fill the bowls with water, or use one for seed and keep two for drinking, and watch the regulars sort out the pecking order.

Delivery within 8 days.

Questions about this piece

How deep should the water be in the Three-Tier Rustic 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.

How far into the ground does the Three-Tier Rustic Bird Bath go?

At least a third of its length, and more in light or sandy soil. Water the spot first if the ground is baked hard, and push steadily rather than hammering, which splays the point. Check it again after the first windy week — poles work loose before they actually fall over.

How often should I clean the Three-Tier Rustic 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.
