Troubleshooting

Bird bath is unstable or wobbles.

Ensure the base is placed on a perfectly level and firm surface. Check that the top bowl is seated correctly on the base.

Green algae or moss is forming.

Clean the bird bath regularly with a soft brush and plain water. For stubborn growth, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing. Ensure good air circulation around the bird bath.

Water appears dirty quickly.

Change the water daily or every other day, especially in warm weather. Remove any fallen leaves or debris promptly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the two pieces (base and top bowl) carefully, being mindful of the weight.
  2. Select a level and stable location in your garden. Ensure the chosen spot can support the weight of the bird bath when filled with water.
  3. Place the base section firmly on the ground.
  4. Carefully position the top bowl onto the base, ensuring it sits securely.
  5. Fill the bowl with fresh, clean water. Avoid overfilling; the water level should be sufficient for birds to bathe without being too deep.

Compatibility:

This bird bath is designed for outdoor use in gardens, patios, and lawns. It is compatible with most garden environments and can be placed near flowerbeds, shrubs, or on open lawn areas.

Care:

  • Regular Cleaning: To keep the water fresh and prevent algae growth, clean the bird bath regularly (at least once a week). Use a soft brush or cloth with plain water. Avoid using harsh detergents or chemicals, as these can be harmful to birds.
  • Winter Care: While the reconstituted stone is durable, prolonged freezing temperatures can cause damage. If severe frost is expected, it is advisable to empty the bird bath and, if possible, store the top section in a sheltered location.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check that the bird bath remains stable and free from damage. Minor cleaning with a damp cloth is usually sufficient to maintain its appearance.
