FROG BIRD BATH

The Frog Is Holding the Lily Pad

The name suggests a frog sitting on a pad. It is the other way round. The frog is the pedestal, standing on webbed feet with the whole basin overhead, which is a stranger and better idea.

It looks at you. The eyes sit high on the head, wide apart, and the mouth carries a slight upward line. At 21.8 inches it is at the height where a child notices it first.

Two Pieces, One Twist

Every concrete bird bath we carry uses the same twist fit, whatever the shape.

Your Concrete Frog Bird Bath Lily Pad Basin, up in three steps

  1. 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. 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. 3

    Level and fill

    Check it sits flat all the way round, then fill to about two inches.

What You Get With This Concrete Frog Bird Bath Lily Pad Basin

  1. 01

    The frog is the structure, not an ornament beside it.

    Most animal bird baths park a small figure next to a plain column and the eye reads two objects. Here the frog stands on its own feet and carries the basin overhead, so the whole thing is one form. It is also the reason it works from every angle rather than having a correct side.

  2. 02

    A lily pad basin with veins and two flowers.

    The pad radiates from a center point the way a real one does, and the two water lilies sit on the rim rather than being painted on. The rim is uneven because a pad edge is uneven, which gives better grip than a smooth circle.

  3. 03

    Fill to two inches, not to the brim.

    At that depth chickadees stand on the pad edge and sip, robins get right in between the lilies. Filled to the top it becomes a drinking stop.

  4. 04

    Twenty five pounds and low.

    At 21.8 inches it is shorter than a full pedestal bath, which puts it within reach of children and makes it the piece they show visitors.

Where to put it

Near a path, at the edge of a border, beside a pond if you have one. It reads best with green around it and it wants to be seen from the front, though the standing pose works from most angles. Twenty two inches is a safe height for birds. Leave two or three feet of open ground and keep a shrub within a short flight.

Questions About This Concrete Frog Bird Bath Lily Pad Basin

Is the frog sitting on the lily pad?
The other way round. The frog stands upright and carries the pad on its head, so the frog is the pedestal and the pad is the basin.
How deep is the pad?
Shallow, which suits birds. Fill to about two inches. A lily pad is not a deep bowl and it is not meant to be.
Will children like it?
At 21.8 inches it sits low enough for them to look straight at the frog rather than up at a column. It is usually the piece they take visitors to see.
Where should a standing frog lily pad bird bath go in a garden?
Among green planting, at a border edge, near a pond. It is a character piece, so it suits an informal garden rather than a clipped formal one.
Are novelty bird baths any good for actual birds?
The shape matters less than the depth and the approach. This one holds water at about two inches in a wide flat pad, with a rim birds can land on, so it works as a bath as well as it works as an ornament.
How is this different from your lotus leaf frog bird bath?
On this one the frog stands and holds the lily pad over its head, so the animal is the whole pedestal. On the lotus leaf piece the frog sits on the rim of the bowl and the pedestal is a plain column. This is the louder of the two.
