| RSPB bronze-coloured resin bird bath |
The bird bath is a self-assembly job and comes in four parts: the bowl, two parts for the pole, and the base. They all screw together very easily. I am wondering if it will survive if the big, fat, gormless wood pigeons (bless 'em) arrive and land on it. I can hear them landing on the garden room roof (which is fibre-glassed) sometimes and I wonder if they are wearing jackboots. The bird bath is relatively lightweight and anything that has any weight landing on it or leaping on it (like Alfie, my Ragdoll cat), is likely to tip it over or, worse, break it. Today is the first day of the bird bath in my garden so time will tell.
Had to laugh—my garden is on a slight slope and I hadn't thought about it. I needed to put the bird bath on a quite level surface because of the water (obviously!) and one where I could peg it down (the bird bath comes with three pegs which are really too fine and a bit on the short side). Note: You can actually fill the hollow pole with gravel or sand but I don't have any available so I've made do with rocks on the base.
Some people have complained that the RSPB bird bath leaks but unless this is a new design, I cannot see how right now. Someone on Amazon UK has shown a picture of theirs and how they have added a solar fountain in the bowl, and it looks really effective (at least, I guess it will be when there is some sun!).
