SUNFLOWER BIRD BATH
The Gaps Between Petals Are for Wet Feet
That scalloped edge is not only shape. A smooth stone rim is slick once it is wet, and the dips between petals give a bird something to hold. They land on the rim and settle before stepping in, and one that cannot settle leaves.
The column is the stem, deep green with veined leaves and brown stem lines running between them, flaring at the foot like roots opening out. Flower, stem and root are one plant rather than a dish with a flower painted on it.
Two Pieces, One Twist
Every concrete bird bath we carry uses the same twist fit, whatever the shape.
Your Concrete Sunflower Bird Bath Sculpted Basin, up in three steps
-
1
Insert top into bottom
Lift the basin onto the pedestal and drop the collar into the socket. Two people make this easy, one person can manage it.
-
2
Twist to lock
Turn the basin a quarter turn until it seats. No adhesive, no fixings, and it comes apart again the same way.
-
3
Level and fill
Check it sits flat all the way round, then fill to about two inches.
What You Get With This Concrete Sunflower Bird Bath Sculpted Basin
-
01
Petal gaps give grip where a smooth rim does not.
Wet feet slip on a plain stone edge. The scalloped rim built from two rows of petals gives a bird somewhere to hold while it decides, and deciding on the rim is what every bird does before it steps in. Decoration and function in the same detail.
-
02
One plant from flower to root.
Head, stem and root in three colors, yellow, deep green and brown. Most sunflower baths are a round dish with a flower painted on, and they fall apart at close range.
-
03
A 20 inch basin gives a bird room to hesitate.
Wide basins hold birds longer than narrow ones, because there is space to land, look around, and move without leaving.
-
04
Fill to two inches, not to the brim.
At that depth chickadees stand on the petal tips and sip, robins get their whole body in and shake water everywhere, and butterflies settle on the wet edge. Filled to the top it becomes a drinking stop.
A flower belongs among planting rather than on paving. A mixed border, a cottage garden, or a lawn edge with flowers behind it. On bare stone it reads as an object rather than as part of the garden. Twenty four inches puts the basin at a safe height, with two or three feet of open ground and cover within a short flight.
