We have a certified NWF backyard habitat, which means we provide food, water, nesting boxes, etc, for all the animals that inhabit or pass through our acreage. In addition to a watering hole and man made wildlife stream for the deer, squirrels, bobcats, raptors, etc, I needed a practical way way to provide water for the song birds as well, so this bird bath was the perfect choice. It arrived quickly and well packaged. The bath was very easy to install. The basin part slides into place and can be quickly removed to clean...it looks like a one piece bird bath when it’s put in place. It’s solid enough to withstand the torrential rain and winds that blow through our canyon. I read that it may crack in freezing conditions, but that’s not something we worry about very often in SF Bay Area. I ordered it in Summer Blue, which has a deep, rich organic glaze that compliments the surrounding rosemary bushes. Like all of my Birds Choice products, this bird bath is well-made in the USA. I highlight recommend it.
