The Scalloped Bird Bath

A scalloped dish in a rusted bronze finish, held on a slim pole with a wrought bird perched on an arch above it. Water or seed — it works as either.

The pole pushes into soft ground rather than standing on a base, so it wants a border or a lawn, not a patio. Site it near cover but not against it: birds want an escape route and cats want the opposite.
