Three-Tier Bird Bath: Water Station and Garden Ornament in One

A garden without birds is just a patch of green. With birds, it becomes a show every morning: a robin stopping by for a drink, chickadees taking turns in the bath, a butterfly landing on the rim. All you need is a spot where they can find water safely. That is exactly what this bird bath offers.

Right now that water is precious. From autumn on, natural water gets scarce and puddles soon freeze over, yet garden birds need to drink all year round. Put out a bird bath now and you will have regular visitors all winter long, and you will watch them up close, day after day.

The three bowls at different heights are more than decoration: small birds can drink safely high above the ground, out of reach of cats, while the lowest bowl is a favourite of butterflies and bees. That way your whole flower bed comes alive, from spring well into winter.

Setting it up takes a single motion: push the sturdy ground stake into the soil, whether in a flower bed, a lawn or a large planter, and it stands. The weatherproof metal with a vintage rust finish is made to stay outdoors and only gains character over the years. Add water and you are done.

At 61 cm (24 in) tall with bowls up to 23 cm (9 in) in diameter, it is large enough to stand out and understated enough to fit in anywhere. It also makes a lovely gift for anyone with a garden.
