{"product_id":"cast-iron-garden-bird-bath","title":"Cast-Iron Garden Bird Bath","description":"\u003cp\u003eWater brings in birds that will never touch a feeder. Warblers, thrushes, waxwings and orioles eat insects and fruit, so a seed feeder is invisible to them — a shallow dish of clean water is not. Put one out and your yard list roughly doubles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA shallow bowl on a slim iron stake, with cast bird figures around the stem. It pushes straight into a lawn or border, so there is no base to level and nothing to assemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShallow bowl on a ground stake, cast iron with a weathered finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorative bird detailing around the stem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreestanding — pushes into soil, no tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy shallow matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall birds drown in deep water and will not use a bath they cannot stand in. An inch to an inch and a half at the centre is right. If yours sits deeper than that, put a flat stone in the middle — it gives them somewhere to perch and lets bigger birds use it too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to put it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the open, about ten feet from a shrub. Birds want to see what is coming while they are wet and slow, but they also want cover to reach in one flight. Directly under a tree means falling leaves and droppings in the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKeeping it clean\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTip it out and refill every two or three days in warm weather. Standing water goes green and breeds mosquitoes, and dirty baths spread disease between birds. A stiff brush and plain water is all it needs — skip the detergent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thicket \u0026amp; Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43825421353027,"sku":"TCO-BATH-01","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/5744\/1859\/files\/hf_20260913_033123_9595811b-cfa9-4d31-addc-e92a6bea2843.png?v=1789270380","url":"https:\/\/thicketco.shop\/products\/cast-iron-garden-bird-bath","provider":"Thicket \u0026 Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
