Product Description
BIRD BATH GARDEN
A Rooster Standing in the Sunflowers
A black rooster with a red comb and yellow feet stands against a deep green stem, and above him the basin opens as a golden sunflower head.
Two things from the same world. Sunflowers grow at the edge of a farmyard and roosters walk under them, so the flower and the bird belong to each other rather than being a bowl with an animal stuck on the side.
The colors are strong and deliberate. Gold basin, dark green stem, black bird with red and yellow. It is the loudest piece of this group and it is meant to be seen from a distance.

What Makes This Bird Bath Different
- A scene rather than a bowl with a figure on it. Roosters walk under sunflowers at the edge of a farmyard, so the two elements here explain each other. Most animal bird baths pair a creature with whatever pedestal was available, and the eye notices the mismatch even when it cannot name it. Here the bird and the flower come from the same place.
- Color that carries. Gold, deep green, black, red and yellow. This is not a piece that blends into planting, it is one that holds a position from across a lawn or a front yard.
- A petalled rim. The sunflower head forms the basin edge in overlapping petals, so the rim rises and falls. Wet feet grip that far better than a smooth stone circle.
- Fill to two inches, not to the brim. Chickadees stand on the petal tips and sip, robins get right in. Filled to the top it becomes a drinking stop and nothing more.
Where to put it
A front yard, a patio, a path edge, anywhere it will be seen rather than come upon. This one is loud enough to hold its own on paving, though it looks best with some green nearby. Twenty four inches is a safe height for birds, with open ground on the approach and cover within a short flight.

Setup, Care, and Warranty
Setup and placement
Two pieces, no tools. The basin seats onto the stem.
Turn the rooster toward where people come from. He is on one side only and from behind it is a plain green stem.
Filling it
Two inches is the number. Birds wade rather than swim, and the petal rim gives them grip on the way in.
Keeping the color bright
Strong colors are hand painted and afternoon shade holds them at their best for longer. A soft brush and plain water every couple of weeks.
Winter
Drain the basin before the first hard frost and leave it empty or turned over. Check the petal recesses are clear when you drain it.
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 does it compare to the plain sunflower design?
That one is the flower on a leafed stem with no animal. This one adds a rooster against the stem and pushes the color further, so it reads as a farmyard scene rather than as a botanical piece.
Is it too bright for a border?
It is the loudest piece in this group, which is the point. It holds a position on a front yard or a patio. In a quiet planted border a plainer design will sit better.
Is the rooster cast on?
Cast as part of the piece against the stem. Nothing to knock off and nothing to fix.
Will birds actually use it?
The petal rim gives grip and the basin is shallow. Fill to two inches, keep the approach open, and have cover within a short flight.
