Esschert Design AM82 AM Green 1 Hanging Bird Bath

I just received this the other day, and haven't had an opportunity to see it in action. It is smaller than I expected, which is my own fault, not the sellers. I put it out today, close to one of my feeders, and hopefully the birds will discover it shortly. I am a little disappointed that it isn't deeper (it appears to be about 1 inch), but that's good for the birds, so they have something to grip. When it arrived it appeared to be more decorative than useful, so I filled it with water and let it sit overnight in my sink. The water level didn't drop, which was a nice surprise. It is described as being made of "aged metal". but honestly it didn't feel like metal, which is why I did the overnight test. It will be interesting to see how it survives the summer (rust, etc). As another reviewer noted, the decorative bird on the rim of the dish is heavy enough to tip it so that about half the water runs out. It's an easy fix by adding a stone on the other side for balance, but it is a poor product design. After it's been in use a couple of months, I'll update my review (if necessary).06/01/17 - well, I didn't have to wait a couple of months ... a few days is all it took. For me, and the birds in my neighborhood, this is just too darn small to serve as a bird bath/water provider. *Small* birds (tits, small warblers, etc) could possibly use this to for drinking water, but since it is so poorly weighted with the decorative bird on the edge, should more than one bird land in or sit on the dish, the water spills out. I was thinking of using it as a feeder instead, but again the poor product design re: balance would cause most of the feed to end up on the ground. I've decided to turn it into a bee waterer, instead. I can put several smallish rock in the dish and then keep a very small amount of water in to provide a little H2O haven for pollinators. It's cute as can be, and I'm disappointed it isn't working out as I'd hoped, but oh, well.

I just place my bird feeders outside. One balanced perfectly, the other did not. However, I used a large marbels to balance it. I'm still improvising. As I was placing the feeders out in my garden, I immediately received compliments from my neighbor! I love the texture and color too. It seems to fade right into everything which will make the red cardinal perfect to view while eating☺️. Nothing is perfect. I believe I received a good value for the cost. I do not plan to return the one that appears to hang lopsided a little. Gonna continue to work with it.

It is as described; only the bird attached to the birdbath makes it hang crooked; it hangs lop-sided due to the weight of the bird. Otherwise, it is as described.

This would have been a nice birdbath to hang in a tree, but it hangs crooked. So much that you can't add water.One of the rings on the bowl that holds one of the chains is not positioned correctly. This cannot be bent using your hands (too solid), and I'm afraid if I try to use tools to bend it that it may break off. Still pondering whether I should return or not.

I have had this bird bath 2 or 3 months. It is very cute, but not deep enough so the water evaporates in one day. My husband went out to fill it today and noticed the finish on the metal is peeling up and the metal underneath is rusting. Wondering if any of this was toxic for the birds. Not too happy about this purchase.

I like the design of the bird bath, I put it in the rose garden and it looks very nice. However, the dish is rather shallow to be a bird bath and small to attract more than one bird. But, it is attractive in the garden.

The product is small. It is very pleasant and sweet looking. I like it.

Very pretty bird dish - but the chains are a little uneven so the dish slopes and does not keep its contents in well. I will need to make an adjustment on the chain.

Headline says it all really. Not bad for the money but not a great product either. The dish hangs lop-sided and therefore can't be fully filled.

It looks pretty, but it goes crooked, and it is very rusty after just a few months

very useful in the garden

Ein grundsätzlich sehr schönes Produkt. Schade ist nur, dass die Höhe des Randes so niedrig ist, sodass man lfd. Wasser nachfüllen muss. Die Tiefe sollte mindestens 40mm betragen.

It is super cute and adds a nice touch to our backyard. Smaller than I thought it would be but that’s not a big negative. Haven’t seen any birds in it yet but they will come in time if I’m consistent in keeping it full.
