Echoes Bird Bath

The Echoes Bird Bath is a beautiful, natural bird bath with a mottled green, stepped, ripple-effect design which also functions as extra footing or grip for garden birds. It is made from frost-resistant glazed terracotta and features this poem from William Blake around the rim:

‘To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wildflower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour.’

The bird bath comes with three glazed feet which can be used to raise the bath slightly above ground. This also helps to prevent frost damage.

Bird baths make an attractive and enjoyable addition to your garden. They provide garden birds with a vital source of water for both drinking and bathing in hot and dry weather as well as in cold weather, particularly when natural sources of water are frozen. Bathing forms an important part of feather maintenance for birds, making it easier for them to preen.

How to use:

Place the bird bath on a level surface. Birds like to have clear visibility and nearby bushes as they bathe to provide cover if they feel alarmed. Ensure cats cannot use the cover to attack birds. You could try placing the bath at different sites in the garden to see which one is most popular. Rinse out and change the water daily with a good scrub and clean once a week, too, making sure any cleaning residues are completely washed away. This is to ensure risk of disease is minimised.
