This review is from: Hanging Dragonfly Birdbath Verdigris

I gave this thing two stars only because "hate it" is a little strong for anything except licorice and okra. Here are the issues we have with this bird bath:

1. When we first hung this up, it tilted badly. Comparison of the three hanging chains revealed that one of them was 1 1/2 links too long. Yes, 1 1/2 (figure that out). We repaired it, but it's a kludge. For $55 I expect a bird bath to at least hang level out of the box.

2. With all the nooks and crannies, it's extremely difficult to clean. Even with a good brush.

3. About a month in, the nice verdigris FINISH started flaking off. Big flakes. Now there are bright aluminum patches all over the bottom. And we don't use wire brushes or harsh cleaners on our bird baths.

4. It's a bad design for songbirds. They drink from it (nervously), but it's too deep to bathe in. Also, the wide rolled edge is very awkward for perching birds.

This bird bath is SO not worth the money. Go for the Avant Garden 8150-3 Cobblestone Hanging Birdbath resin bath. We've had one for 5 years now, and the birds absolutely adore it. The finish flakes off that too after a while, but it took more than two years and doesn't look nearly as bad. Much easier to clean and tons cheaper, too. I'll probably trash this one and buy another Cobblestone bath.
