Does it work for birds? Both as an escape but also as a way of getting a bath from the water splashing up on it?

I have birds that use my pool as a bath but never saw one sitting on the Froglogs

I have small birds that use it to bathe. I even saw a dove on there once but bigger birds would dislodge it I think.

Yes, songbirds will use it to perch and get a drink. Birds can also use it to escape. Baby ducklings will use it too. I am the inventor so feel free to contact me at: rich@froglog.us

Never had a bird drawn in our pool. But this is a small safety ledge that they would find as they go around the edge to escape. Works for frogs:)

It might, the only reason it works for birds is that once a month I move it to a slightly different location near the area I want free of birds.

I have mine floating in a small water feature. I have not notice hummingbirds going to it but i bet they would on a bird bath:)

It is a little deep for small birds. I put a small little bubbling fountain in mine (resembles a rock). You could always put a small rock or the bottom of a flower pot upside down for a platform for the birds. It has held up well through the winter in the South.

The birds that use my birdbath, which is where I have the solar pump, bathe all around it. Yes they can get under it but for my purposes it sprayed too high although I have seen hummingbirds use the spray. I added more holes to reduce the pressure and height of the spray. It worked fine and the price was better than many other places.

I hadn't thought about it, but it looks like it could work. I would probably buy the larger one to use as a bird bath.

Our heated bird bath does not feel warm, either, but the important thing is it stays unfrozen and is a reliable source of water for drinking/bathing. the birds are out there now in freezing temps using it.

It is not very deep, but it holds enough water for a few birds to bathe. My only complaint is that it is very light and when we have heavy winds, it falls, even though I staked it and put bricks around it. Besides that, I like it.

I too have a shallow bird bath. I try to keep it submerged but winter evaporation often exposes the top (heater has 3/4" depth). I would not let bird bath run totally out of water because the thermostat will probably keep it running constantly trying to heat the air. Unplug if you are going to be gone for days. Mine has kept running fine for 3 years.

I purchased this for a cockatiel, it's very small, more like for a parakeet or finch sized bird. I ended up taking the top off mine and using it for a water bowl. I'd recommend getting a bigger bath than this one.

There is an adjustable bracket that attaches (with a screw fastener) to the bottom of the bird bath. It will adapt to porch/deck/patio railings, as well as square or round posts of any size. We have two of these bird baths, one of which must be almost 15 years old. It is still fully functional. This is a very durable bird bath, and I highly recommend it. We live in a wooded area where tree debris is always falling into the bird baths, and we scrub them out weekly with a utility brush and a little water. The heater keeps the water from freezing throughout the winter without fail. I have purchased these at wild bird brick and mortar shops, and from Amazon. Amazon always offers the most favorable pricing.

I have mine in a rather shallow birdbath. As long as the rubber discs can reach water it works great. I'd say the water in the bird bath should be at least 1". I hope this helps some. I've had two and love them. The battery lasts at least 4-6 months and it only takes 2 "D" size batteries.

I used it for outside wild birds over the winter great bird bath worked great, and last year was a bad winter

Not that I know of. When I take it out during water changes I need to put it in the shade to stop the pump. I'm home all the time and don't run low on water...knock on wood. I do love it. It took a while for the birds to overcome their fear but now I see them in the bath.

The water level for my bird bath is about 2 inches too, it works well. You may need to add water daily to ensure the pump is covered.

That is what I use it for. I have placed it on the ground so that the small creatures and deer can get a drink...and birds sometimes bathe in it.It is very durable. Don't know how you'd attach it to a stump, but it would make a great birdbath.

There is a T to the hose bib. The plastic tubing fits to one side of the T so just a little water passes to the bird bath. The bird bath dripper further restricts water flow to droplets. Quite attractive to our quail and dove. The birdbath blends well with gravel. It's more of a concrete color.
