Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the bird bath is straightforward: simply find a level site, place the unit down, and fill it with fresh water. To maintain the bath, scrub the interior bowl with a stiff brush and water once a week to prevent algae buildup; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could be harmful to birds. If you live in an area prone to freezing temperatures, it is essential to drain the bowl during winter months, as water expanding during a freeze can cause the stoneware to crack or chip.
