Troubleshooting
Birdbath sections do not fit together securely
Ensure the locating pin on the upper basin is correctly aligned with the hole on the base. If persistent, consider using silicone adhesive for a permanent fix.
Birdbath appears unstable
For added security, especially in areas with high foot traffic or wind, use a strong silicone adhesive or sealant to fix the basin to the base.
