A pedestal bird bath with a floating solar pump that starts circulating as soon as sun hits it. Moving water is the point — it discourages mosquito larvae, which need still water to develop, and the sound and movement attract far more birds than a static bowl.

Key features

Floating solar pump with no wiring
Moving water discourages mosquito breeding
Pedestal design at a comfortable height for garden birds
Pump lifts out for cleaning and winter storage

Materials

Weather-resistant composite bowl and pedestal with a solar pump unit.

Intended use

Attracting birds to gardens, borders, and lawns. Best placed in reach of cover so birds have somewhere to retreat.

Assembly

Bowl seats onto the pedestal. Place the pump in the water and position where the panel catches sun.

Care

Empty and scrub weekly — a dirty bath spreads disease between birds. Drain and store the pump over winter in freezing regions.

What's included

Bowl, pedestal, and floating solar pump.

Not included

Ground anchor and replacement pump are sold separately. The pump runs only in direct sunlight and stops when the panel is shaded.
