PURE COPPER BIRD BATH

What we found

This is a bird bath with a copper basin, meant for holding water outdoors so birds can drink and bathe. Bird baths of this type are either set on a pole or pedestal staked into the ground, hung from a bracket or branch, or rested on a flat surface, and they need no electrical hookup or plumbing — you fill the basin by hand and tip it out to clean. Copper basins are shallow, usually only a couple of inches deep, so the water is easy to change and the metal weathers to a darker brown patina over time outdoors. It suits a yard, patio, or balcony where you want to attract birds, and it works as a garden ornament in the off season. Bring a tape measure or check the mounting hardware in person if you have a specific pole, hook, or pedestal in mind, since basin diameter and overall height vary between bird baths.
