Troubleshooting
Bird bath seems unstable
Ensure the ground where it is placed is level. For added stability, you can gently press the base into the soil or add a few stones around the base.

Birds are not visiting
Ensure the bird bath is placed in a visible but safe location, near shrubs or trees for cover. Make sure the water is clean and fresh. Patience is key, as it may take time for birds to discover and trust the new water source.
