Whilst many people put out food for birds, fewer provide a regular supply of clean water. Many seed-eating birds have a dry diet and therefore need to drink more, but water to bath in is equally important. Bathing and preening are essential parts of feather maintenance; baths help remove dirt, loose feathers and other debris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA good bird bath has a rough surface so birds can grip it with their claws. Moreover, having shallow sloping sides to approach the water with varying water depths to allow each species to bathe at their preferred depth is ideal. The positioning of the bath is also crucial; birds will only use it if they feel safe. Daily rinsing and refilling the bath helps remove the build-up of dirt and droppings. Birdbaths are the fastest and most straightforward way to add water to your garden bird habitat.\u003c\/p\u003e","image":{"created_at":"2021-02-15T10:23:50+00:00","alt":null,"width":900,"height":934,"src":"\/\/wildlifeworldtrade.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/bird_baths_online_900x_5802298e-e2ff-4026-8ef4-3f7e1795c9a2.jpg?v=1613384631"}},{"id":291892658369,"handle":"warehouse-clearance-sale","updated_at":"2025-10-09T11:46:00+01:00","published_at":"2023-01-31T09:33:07+00:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"web","title":"Warehouse Clearance Sale","body_html":""}]
Our Wild Island Bird Bath is handmade in Turkey using locally dug clay prepared and cleaned by a highly-skilled Potter before forming the bath using traditional methods on a wheel. They are then dried and fired in kilns at high temperatures to ensure each birdbath is frost-resistant. This Bird Bath provides a fantastic opportunity for birds to safely drink and bathe whilst still providing opportunities for bees and other beneficial insects to drink from the shallow areas. The central island offers a fantastic location for birds to land to drink without wading into the water.
Siting
Place the Bird Bath on a level surface such as a patio, deck, or lawn where it can be easily viewed.
Maintenance
Replace the water regularly and wipe with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or algae growth.
