Our Picks
Cast Iron Metal Birdbath
Two small iron birds sit on the sides of this metal bird bath to encourage other birds to join. It is built for indoor and outdoor use, has an elegant bulbous stand, and has an antique finish.
Designer Advice:
Heavier than other metals, this sturdy bird bath is less likely to tip over on windy days. Center this elegant birdbath on a garden path or tuck it between fluffy green hedges. No matter where you place this bird bath stand and bowl, it adds charm to a Victorian garden.
Hanging Metal Bird Bath
Pure copper with a hammered finish makes this metal bird bath bowl resistant to rust and easy to install. It comes with a cover for storage, and its color is likely to attract the oriole bird species.
Designer Advice:
Bird baths that hang from a gazebo or deck ceiling are perfect for homes with little to no yard. Another plus is seeing birds drink and bathe closer than further away in a garden. Its simple design and copper hue are best suited to industrial home styles but also look great in modern.
Gold and Black Metal Bird Bath
This metal bird bath has a stake mount type with cattail and leaf design. It is made of sturdy iron with a black powder finish to resist outdoor elements.
Designer Advice:
The height of this metal birdbath is ideal for placing next to tall plants and ornamental grass bushes. Its yellow gold bowl attracts the goldfinch bird species. If you want to see these visitors easily, ensure the grass plant beside the bird bath is not yellow.
Deck mounted Metal Bird Bath
The bowl on this metal bird bath is made of copper and is shaped like a lovely flower. It clamps onto porches, balconies, or deck railings and has a hummingbird drinking from a flower in the center.
Designer Advice:
Metal bird baths attached to a railing won’t sway in the wind, dumping birdseed everywhere, as a hanging bowl might. They are also much easier to reach to fill with water or birdseed compared to a bird bath stand sitting in a garden. Its rose gold color is dainty and great for adding a feminine touch.
Galvanized Metal Bird Bath Stand
The sides on this metal bird bath bowl taper inward to make it look like a bucket. Anchors installed to the bottoms of the tapered legs keep it in place.
Designer Advice:
The gray steel bucket design makes this the perfect bird bath stand for country farmhouse styles. Pair it with other yard ornaments like a rusted tractor flower bed, or scrap metal garden art, and hang wind chimes from the porch.
