Product Description
Un-heated Bird Bath with Tilt-to-Clean Deck Mount. The bowl is 20″ x 2″ deep. The shape of the rim is designed to be easily grasped by a bird’s talons making it a natural perch and, as a result, encourages landings. Includes a mounting bracket that firmly attaches to deck rails. The bath can be tilted for cleaning without removing it from the rail.Amazon.com Review
Birds enjoy drinking, playing and bathing in many pools of water, whether splashing in a puddle brimming from a pothole, water treatment reservoir, or a public fountain. However, some of these swimming areas are tainted by oil and gasoline run-off, sewage, residue from a road’s tar or asphalt, or heavy chlorination. Such unnatural impurities may actually leave a bird dirtier post-bath and endanger its physical wellbeing. While controlling the water quality of every puddle in the world is impossible, bird lovers can at least provide a safer bathing pool for feathered friends by installing a home birdbath and keeping the basin stocked with clean water. To help encourage frequent refills of fresh water, Allied Precision Industries (API) created this birdbath model with a hinged mount to enable easy disposal of dirty, stagnant water.
Simple in appearance to fit into any outdoor décor, the birdbath basin features plastic construction that fares well through all weather conditions. Birds come to rest on the basin’s rim, which is designed specifically to accommodate a natural talon grip. The basin affixes to API’s unique EZ-Tilt-To-Clean deck rail mount. A sturdy hinge allows users to flip the basin over to quickly dump dirty water over the railing. The mount uses a screw clamp to grip a rail, needing no drills for installation. To best attract birds, place the birdbath in a sheltered southeast location and stock with fresh water regularly. The bath measures 20 inches in diameter with a 2-inch depth. This item weighs 4.9 pounds upon shipping. –Jessica Reuling

I’ve had this birdbath for about 2yrs. I love it…very easy to mount on my 6″ wide deck railing and very easy to clean. The birds love it, to drink and bathe in, and I sometimes have a few squirrels to take a drink too. I can see them right out my bay window in the kitchen, plus it starts a lot of conversations when we have friends over. I just recently got another one for my aging parents to enjoy too. The only thing is, I might try a heater for the winter. The birds were so used to drinking from this location that the blocks of ice didn’t help, but I just put some fresh water on top or tipped the unit to clear out the ice.

This is a great birdbath! It was easy to install and the birds found it quickly. It actually gets quite crowded because they all love it!!!

Good product and birds are loving it! The tilting device did not work as well as we had expected, but overall a very good product.

I just bought this bird bath and am tempted to return it. The brackets do not fit together, so the bowl does not clip onto the railing properly. It is unstable and not level. It is just poorly made and definitely not worth the money.

I bought this for my mom so that she might enjoy a closer view of the many birds in her yard. It was easy to install and the birds seem to have accepted it. Whenever I visit, Mom reports on the birds she has observed using it, so I am happy with the result. I cannot say anything about how long it will hold up, but even if it only lasts a few seasons, Mom (and I) will have gotten plenty of value from it.
