Amazon.com: Schrodt Designs MBB-12G 12" Misty Bird Bath, Green: Patio, Lawn & Garden

Product Description

Amazon.com Review
This bird-friendly fountain adds modern elegance to your lawn or garden with its hand-thrown, kiln-fired copper bowl and redwood pedestal. Sunbeams will reflect off the outside of the copper bowl as the fountain fills the inside of the forest green bowl. The mounting pole matches the inside of the bowl. It takes just minutes to assemble, is a cinch to maintain, and comes with 25 feet of drip tubing, a faucet adapter, and a water pressure regulator. Fresh water travels from the faucet to the bowl, reducing the spread of bacteria. Unlike some common birdbaths, this 12-inch bowl will accommodate only a few birds at once.

From the Manufacturer
Hand turned copper bowl.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Clean Design, June 9, 2001

By	Grant Harrison (Newberg, Oregon USA) - See all my reviews

Unlike a lot of birdbaths, this one has a very clean design (i.e.: lacking cherubs, fake birds, Romanesque column, etc.). This simple design in redwood and copper (which patinas to green) looks great in a natural or Japanese style garden. It is also very durable, and repairing it would be very easy (should the mister nozzle become clogged or lost). We've had ours 3 years and have yet to replace the nozzle. I was initially concerned that the nozzle would become lost, as the copper bowl is pinned in place only by the tiny black plastic nozzle (mated to the water tubing within the copper standpipe). I used silicone to prevent large birds or errant gardeners from toppling it (gluing the copper bowl to the redwood pedestal), though this may not have been necessary (though it didn't change it's appearance). In any case a spare nozzle was included and they are readily available at large garden/hardware stores or from the manufacturer as another reviewer states. The amount of water if left running all day is fairly minimal and -bonus- it will make for happy plants around the base (our strawberries do very well! -with plenty for us and the birds.) Another suggestion would be a water timer, so that you can control for what hours it runs... though we often leave ours on continuously.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this Birdbath, November 11, 2000

By A Customer

We have had this birdbath for many years (8?) and it still looks great. The birds seem to like the shallow bowl. The company has been terrific when I have called to request replacement misters that have been lost. They send them promptly and FREE. Great buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The VERY BEST birdbath on the market!, July 11, 2001

By A Customer

This is the very best birdbath I have ever owned... and I have owned quite a few. Prior to owning this one, I hadn't had much luck attracting birds. With this birdbath, I now have beautiful birds of all kinds flocking (sorry, I couldn't resist) to the birdbath! And, they actually splash around and *bathe* in this thing! It is quite a sight to see and everyone who visits comments on it.

I surrounded it with plants that like "wet feet" since it does produce quite a bit of overflow (if you turn it up all the way, which is how my birds like it).

If you're serious about attracting birds and butterflies, buy one.
