Product Description
BIRD BATHS CONTEMPORARY
Two Cuts That Cross
Two long openings run up the column and cross near the middle, so the solid parts read as ribbons rather than as a post with holes in it.
That crossing is what separates it from a single opening. One cut gives you a frame. Two that overlap give you a form that seems to move, and the shape you read changes depending on where you stand.
The finish is smooth cool gray with no aggregate showing and no texture applied. The basin is a shallow saucer with a thin edge. Everything about it is pared back.

What Makes This Bird Bath Different
- Two openings rather than one. A single cutout frames what is behind it. Two that cross turn the remaining concrete into ribbons, so the column reads as movement rather than as a post with a hole. Walk past it and the shape you see changes, which a symmetrical single opening cannot do.
- Smooth gray, no texture applied. No aggregate, no stone effect, no carving. A flat cool gray that sits with rendered walls, painted fences and modern paving rather than trying to look like something quarried.
- A thin edged saucer. The basin is shallow with a fine rim, which keeps the top light against the openwork below. A heavy bowl would make the cutouts look like they were carrying too much.
- Fill to two inches, not to the brim. A shallow saucer barely needs more. Chickadees stand on the thin rim and sip, robins get right in. Filled to the top it becomes a drinking stop.
Where to put it
A deck, a terrace, modern paving, gravel with grasses. Like any openwork piece it wants something behind it worth seeing through to rather than a solid wall. Twenty two inches is a safe height for birds. Leave open ground on the approach and keep cover within a short flight.

Setup, Care, and Warranty
Setup and placement
Two pieces, no tools. The saucer seats onto the column.
Set it on level solid ground. A thin rimmed saucer shows any tilt as water gathering on one side.
Filling it
Two inches is the number. The saucer is shallow by design and does not hold much, so expect to top it up more often in summer.
Keeping the finish even
Smooth gray shows water marks that a textured surface would hide. A wipe with a soft cloth after heavy rain keeps it looking flat and even.
Winter
Drain the saucer before the first hard frost and leave it empty or turned over. Sealed concrete comes through freeze and thaw well when dry.
3-year warranty
This product includes a 3-year warranty against cracking. Coverage, claim requirements and required documents are subject to the warranty policy that applies at the time of purchase. Keep your order confirmation and contact customer support with your order details if service is needed.
Questions Before You Choose
How is this different from the single loop design?
This one has two openings that cross, so the solid concrete reads as ribbons and the shape shifts as you move. The single loop is one clean teardrop and stays symmetrical from every angle.
Is the finish textured?
No, smooth cool gray with no aggregate showing. It suits rendered walls and modern paving rather than trying to imitate quarried stone.
How much water does the saucer hold?
Not much, which is correct for birds. Fill to about two inches and top it up more often in hot weather than you would a deep bowl.
Will birds actually use it?
The thin rim is easy to land on and the saucer is shallow throughout. Fill to two inches, keep the approach open, and have cover within a short flight.
