This cast iron tray in the form of a leaf can be filled with either food or water and as such will provide the birds with a lovely drinking or bathing spot. A bird has already settled on the edge, it is up to other birds to quickly follow suit.
Bathing is an important part of feather maintenance. Dampening the feathers loosens the dirt and makes their feathers easier to preen. When preening, birds carefully rearrange the feathers and spread oil from the preen gland so they remain waterproof and trap an insulating layer of air underneath to keep them warm
Water helps keep a bird's body cool both from the inside and outside. Water baths can also remove dust, loose feathers, parasites and other debris from a bird's plumage. It is made from solid cast iron with a textured, weathered finish. It has an antique brown or rustic finish that blends naturally into garden settings.
- The main basin replicates a maple leaf, complete with prominent vein details across the surface and a curved stem that serves as a decorative touch. A small, detailed sculpted bird figurine is permanently attached to the rim, looking down into the basin to give the impression that it is about to drink or bathe.

- The basin rests on three short, integrated peg legs to keep it raised and stable on flat outdoor surfaces like patio stones, tables, or walls.
Perfect give for garden and bird lovers.
