Bird Baths and Bird Feeders

Fresh water is one of the simplest ways to bring birds into a garden, and it works in every season. This range covers rusted steel bird baths and feeders in four forms: standing baths, slim stake baths for small beds, hanging baths and hanging feeders. The decision that matters is how much ground you can spare and how close the nearest cover is, because birds use a bath they feel safe at.

Standing, stake or hanging

  • Standing baths. Around 900mm to 1000mm tall, an easy height for topping up and cleaning. Designs include a rosella, a fairy, lotus flowers with a wren, and a large dragonfly with leaves. The rosella bath has a powder coated bowl, which keeps the water clean and free from rust.
  • Stake baths. 260mm wide and 1000mm high, with a rusted steel bowl sized for little birds. The slim stake needs only a patch of soil, and the bowl can be filled with water or used as a feeder. Designs are a dragonfly, a fairy, a lotus and a willie wagtail.
  • Hanging baths. 900mm high, hung from a sturdy branch or a verandah beam, so they take up no ground space. Designs are bees and flowers, a spiderweb, and wrens at a nest.
  • Hanging feeders. 700mm high and 250mm wide, with a butterfly or a dragonfly. The separate bowl holds seed or water.

Where to put a bird bath

Place a bath near shrubs or a small tree so birds have cover close by, with a clear view around it so they can see what is coming. Dense native shrubs such as grevillea, callistemon and westringia make good cover, and a bath sits well among native grasses at the edge of a bed. Light shade keeps the water cooler in summer. A hanging bath keeps water up off the ground, where small birds feel safer drinking. If you are planting cover from scratch, start with the hedging and screening plants.

Rust and what sits underneath

The baths are mild steel with a rust patina that keeps weathering outdoors. It can mark pale paving when wet, and drips from a hanging bath can mark decking, so stand or hang them over soil, mulch or gravel.

Common questions

How often should I change the water?

Every day or two in warm weather, and whenever it looks dirty. Give the bowl a scrub with a stiff brush each week.

Can a bird bath double as a feeder?

The stake baths and the hanging feeders can. Their bowls hold either water or seed. On the hanging feeders the bowl is a separate piece and can be swapped for another.

Which one suits a courtyard or small garden?

A stake bath or a hanging piece. The stake needs only a patch of soil, and the hanging baths and feeders need a branch, a hook or a verandah beam and no clear ground at all. Delivered Australia wide.
