The classic pedestal bird bath, light enough to carry to wherever the birds are.
The Backyard Expressions bird bath is cast in weather-resistant polyresin with an antiqued silver finish, so it has the shape of the garden bird baths everyone recognizes at a fraction of the weight of stone or cast iron — about six pounds, moved in one trip. The 20-inch basin is broad and shallow, with room for several birds at once: robins and cardinals at the edge, a finch bathing in the middle.
Ground stakes anchor the base against wind, and the hollow pedestal can be filled with rocks or sand for extra weight. The bowl twists off for a quick tip and rinse, and the three pieces go back together without tools. At 30 inches tall it stands above low plantings and reads from a window. Empty the bowl before a hard freeze and bring it in for winter, and it is ready to go back out in spring.
For moving water, the Backyard Expressions solar bird bath pairs this same style of pedestal with a solar-powered fountain.
Very Lightweight, which I think is helpful for being able to tip over to dump the water out and refresh. Also, if you end up wanting to move it around the yard, it being lighter makes that a lot easier. Like other reviews have stated, I ended up putting sand in the post section while putting it together. I think it did help give a little more stability. It includes 3 stakes to secure it to the ground. Depending on the space you're putting it in, it may not feel super secure. Have had a few windier days, and it's held up nicely. If you're looking for a lower price point birdbath that has a nice look to it, this may be the new addition needed for your garden space.. Danielle. Waterville, ME. Fri May 08 2026
