Can I use as bird bath?

It would be ok.. but it's very light and the wind may blow it away... I think I would use something made of stone.. or an equivalent to stone.

Very light weight and rather thin. I think it would fall off a post or base when it got near empty or windy. I have used a similar one on a tree stump, and I place a brick in the center. The worked.

It will work in any type material your bird bath is made of. Make sure you keep the heater submerged in water because operating it dry will burn it out.

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.

There are some brackets that come with the bird bath. They are adjustable for various sizes and lock in to post with set screws. I use my regular concrete bird bath in the summer and replace the top in the winter with the heated unit.

We bought it for the squirrels and they like it plus the lazy old doves use it too. You have a few options... Above ground or dig it down into the ground a little. We bought a bag of white river stones and made a tiny pond looking thing out of it in the garden. We like it but we also have a bird bath that's elevated that the cardinals prefer. Given a choice of "bird baths", an elevated one is definitely more suited to the birds.

My bird bath measures 12 1/4" across from outside edges. I suppose it depends on how deep the bird bath is. Mine is quite shallow.

It really depends more on the heater than the bath. Many will work with this one. This is a pretty sturdy bath, but you will want to ensure that the heater or deicer you are using is safe for all types of birdbaths. Also, you'll want to know the size of bath your heater will work with. The bowl on this bath is about 19 inches in diameter and around 3 inches deep (these are not mass produced, so the dimensions will vary from piece to piece).

can't really answer that- depends on how much water, surface area, etc, since that's the physics of heat loss and gain. My sense is that it adds at least 20-30 degrees F to the ambient temperature of the water in a typical bird bath.

I use it in a plastic bird bath with no problem. A couple things to be aware of - it works well down to 25 degrees or so; also it would not keep a large area of water ice free and might not be good for a pond deeper than a bird bath. Around 25 it would clear a small area around the unit. It will ice over in the zero to 15 degree range. To work at those low temps would take a lot of current and might damage bath/pond material.

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.

Yes they can. Just make sure you clean the window first and wait until it is dry so that you can apply the birds. Hope this helps. :)

I think so. The birds love moving water and they love to bathe in the birdbath with water wiggler. You'll replace a couple of D cell flashlight batteries each month. The changing colors are very nice and pretty also.

My canary has ample space to bathe in it, I do not know what size is your bird. The bath is of good quality and if your bird uses it no more spills! It took a while for my canary to change his bathing habits and be willing to get in the bath enclosure. I hope my experience helps you.

It is a beautiful bird bath, unfortunately it did not attract many birds, I had the idea to bring it inside and hung it from a floor standing sheppards hook with a pothos plant placed in center of bird bath with the vines trailing down side's, it looks so beautiful I purchased another to match.

Yes, it can. I use mine in a good-sized copper birdbath, and it works fine.

Yes it will work in a shallow bird bath but you need one with a large enough circumference to allow room for the wiggler and the birds!

Yes it will work fine, the bird bath is kind of flat on the bottom so it will sit without tipping, but I have put a brick in mine, or something heavy would work to keep the bird bath from blowing off if there are strong winds. Actually i think it would look very cute sitting on a stump!
