If you're looking to attract more birds to your garden, you may have already started looking for the perfect bird bath or feeder. After all, these make excellent additions to any garden and look beautiful at the same time. With this Amazon find, you can choose what works best for the birds in your yard: water or birdseed.
The VCUTEKA bird bath requires no tools for assembly and comes in two colors: blue and purple. It has a metal prong basin with a glass dish that can hold water or food. For avid bird-watchers and gardeners who want to attract a wide variety of birds without DIY, this can be an added bonus. It's currently listed starting at $25.99, and it has a 4.0-star rating across more than 1,300 reviews.
A few shoppers listed some concerns about the size, though. The bird bath is 26 inches tall but just under a foot wide and long. One reviewer stated it was "absolutely beautiful," but "on the smaller side in comparison to the ones that have a separate stand."
Tips for storing and using bird baths in the winter
Although the VCUTEKA glass bird bath received mostly positive reviews despite its small size, a few reviewers on Amazon noted damage during the winter months. For example, one user based in the Northeast said their "water froze in the bowl, and it cracked." Another stated that their "bowls broke in the winter weather." So, if you live somewhere with weather that is prone to subzero temperatures, it may be best to winterize your bird bath.
There are various options to winterize a bird bath, depending on what sort of material your bird bath is made out of. Since the VCUTEKA bird bath is glass, experts recommend removing glass bird baths and placing them inside to prevent breaking. If freezing weather isn't a big concern, you can utilize bird bath heaters instead of removing the bath completely. You can also place it in a sunny spot so the sun will melt any potential ice.
