Upgrade Your Outdoor Space with a Heated Bird Bath and Stand (Item No. 970)

Michael B. McVickar: I thoroughly expected a cheap product but this item far exceeded my expectation. The bracket which is supposed to secure the legs was impossible to tighten enough to keep the legs from falling right off. The design is inherently flawed and no doubt it wouldn’t last for more than 1 winter. Look elsewhere for a product like this.

Mar: This birdbath works very well. I originally used it only in the cold weather months, but the last couple of years I keep it out all year round. Over the years I have been able to remove most of the stains from the basin because of the birds (droppings, food etc.). Some days we would have to change the water 2-3 times because of the birds bathing and pooping in the basin. The stand is getting a little rusty, but that is to be expected. It has never been blown over...I do anchor the legs. It only froze over one time, and that was when the temperature was below zero, and the wind was blowing pretty consistently. There was a little hole in the ice where the birds could get their beaks in...Lol. It's a little pricey, but worth it. Again, we are very pleased with it. Hopefully will get many more years of use.

Lisa Saunders: Got this 1 1/2 years ago from my husband for Christmas. Birds come every day - has been a great source of entertainment for both my husband and I, and our 2 cats. Power is very reliable. Lightweight, easy to clean.

Sean MSean M: I am very pleased with this purchase. I was looking for a good sized bowl with a gentle edge slope for safe use by small birds. I like the fact that the bowl just sits in the ring of the stand so it can easily be tilted to empty and clean. It holds enough water that unless a flock is actually bathing it will not go dry too rapidly. It only heats the water enough to keep it from freezing. The base comes with three u-shaped pins that hold the legs in place on your lawn or in a planter. The base is a little tricky to assemble but not as bad as many criticisms describe if you are careful to note that the three legs need to slip into small tabs and then be held there while tightening the screw in the steel clamp that holds them in place. The steel ring that the bowl sits into might take two people to bend to seat the perimeter pegs into the proper holes of each leg. Once inserted though, that tension is what holds the ring tightly in place. The short plug hangs just below the bowl so the connection is off the ground and somewhat protected from weather. I have had it in operation for a couple months and very satisfied.

Montana: Fantastic heated bath that worked great in recent sub zero temps. All types of birds are visiting as well. The only issue is securing the three metal legs together using the included metal clasp, similar to what you would find to secure a baffle on a pole. They just don't stay together very well, so I used duct tape to reinforce.

Jessi: I like that the bird bath is large and heated. I also received it very fast.
I saw in the reviews that many others thought the bird bath was hard to assemble. I had no problem putting it together, but it seemed the tabs inside the bracket were too small to secure the arms and legs. After getting the arms and legs on and the screws tightened as soon as I moved the unit the arms and legs fell off.
I contacted the seller who sent me a new bracket and now the bird bath is assembled and I am sure it will be nice for the birds in the winter.

Amazon Customer: Overall the heater is good, been -15c for a few days and it’s kept the water clear of ice.

Only complaint is the stand. It’s difficult to assemble and once it’s assembled needs encouragement to align with ring holes that the bowl sits in. Design flaw. Once it’s finally assembled everything is as it should be.

GregGreg: Very nice to see this kind of performance in frosty conditions. With the bowl full, the water temperature varies from 58°F (14°C) above the heating element to 55°F (13°C) around the edges at an air temperature of -4°F (-20°C). The air temperature in the photo is higher because the sensor is above the warm water.

The unit is easy to assemble with only a Philips-head screwdriver required to tighten the clamp around the legs. The bowl is plastic, which means no breaks or cracks even with the clumsiest of birders 🙂

Nick: I plugged it in and filled it with water and then came back it a couple of hours to see if it was working. because of the temperature that day I couldn't really tell if there was a change in the temperature. It got really cold and froze the water in the puddles overnight but when I checked the bird bath it was still the temperature that it had been the day before. Cool to the touch, but not frozen.There was a ring of ice around the edge where the snow had landed but the water was perfect for the birds, and they are there every day now. Great product.The only thing is, that I would liked to have had a water proof connecting cord to go with the bird bath instead of having to purchase one seperately.

Debbie Lee WesselmannDebbie Lee Wesselmann: Because I live in a high-wind area, I was nervous about purchasing this lightweight heated bird bath; after all, we chain our grill to our deck railing because a few years ago our old propane grill was blown all the way across the deck, down the stairs, and into the driveway. However, I didn't want to leave the birds without water when I brought my fountain in for the winter. I was relieved -- and completely sold on this bath -- when it recently weathered a day with winds gusting to 65 mph without moving an inch. Even better, the water inside the bath has not frozen once, not even around the edges.

The bowl is a fairly light-weight, textured plastic that allows birds to grip the sides (and even the bottom) without slipping. The stand is metal, and not very heavy, either, although it seems sturdy enough. The water is never warm, only above freezing, so the birds drink from it readily. (I placed it in the same spot as the fountain, and birds were drinking from it within the hour.) I have scattered a few stones on the bottom to give birds a feel for how deep the water is and for them to land on; they use both the edges and the rocks. The bowl won't...
