SHELL BASIN BIRD BATH

A Scallop Shell at Thirty Two Inches

Thirty two inches is taller than most pedestal baths, and the height is the point. A bath at 28 inches sits below the top of a mixed border and disappears into it. This one clears low planting and stays visible from the house, which is where you actually watch it from.

The shell shape is doing more than decoration. Ribs running out from the center give wet feet something to grip, and the wavy edge gives small birds a dozen different places to stand instead of one smooth circle. Two cast songbirds sit on the rim as part of the casting, not glued on top.

The base is a bowl rather than a disc. Fill it with soil and plant it, or use it as a ground level seed tray. Either way it puts weight low down, which is what a tall light piece needs.

What You Get With This Shell Basin Bird Bath

  1. 01

    Taller than the usual pedestal bath.

    At 32 inches it clears low planting and stays in view from a window, instead of vanishing into the border by midsummer.

  2. 02

    The shell is a working shape.

    Ribs give grip, the wavy edge gives small birds several landing points, and the bowl stays shallow enough to use rather than just look at.

  3. 03

    A bowl at the base, not a foot.

    Soil and planting, or seed at ground level for the birds that never come up to a rim. Either use adds weight where a tall light piece wants it.

  4. 04

    Four and a half pounds at thirty two inches.

    Height without the two person lift. It goes out in spring and comes in before winter on one hand.

Where to put it

The extra height makes it a piece you can put behind low planting rather than in front of it. Set it against a hedge, a fence or a wall rather than free standing in open wind, and plant or weight the base bowl. Leave the approach side open so birds can see what is coming.

Keeping This Shell Basin Bird Bath in Good Order

Shell Basin Bird Bath upkeep, in three lines

  • Every 2 to 3 days Change the water, more often in hot weather.
  • Every week Scrub with a stiff brush and rinse. No soap, no bleach.
  • Before the first frost Drain it, then turn it over or store it under cover.
Looking after the finish

Rinse the shell and wipe it with a soft cloth. The ribs hold a little more dust than a smooth bowl does, so a soft brush now and then keeps the ant...

  • 60 days Returns, no restocking fee
  • Free shipping Continental US, from California or New Jersey

Questions About This Shell Basin Bird Bath

Is thirty two inches too tall for small birds
No. Height is about your sight line, not theirs. What matters to a bird is the rim and the depth, and the shell gives a ribbed surface to grip with a wavy edge to choose from. Fill to two inches.
Can I use the base bowl for seed instead of plants
Yes. As a ground level seed tray it feeds the birds that forage on the ground and never come up to a rim. Keep it dry and top it up in small amounts rather than filling it.
Will it stay upright at that height
Where it is sheltered and the base is loaded, yes. A tall light piece wants weight low down, so plant the base bowl or fill it with soil or sand, and set the piece against a hedge, a fence or a wall rather than alone in open wind.
What happens in winter
Drain the basin before the first hard frost. At 4.4 pounds it lifts with one hand, so it goes under shelter for the season without help.

Ships free from California or New Jersey, and it is covered for three years.
