The bath has ridges around the inside, so the birds shouldn't slip whilst they drink or bathe.
The edge of the bird bath is impressed with the verse: "To see a world in a grain of sand – and a heaven in a wild flower – hold infinity in the palm of your hand – and eternity in an hour".
No doubt the birds will be impressed by your beautiful lines (or recognise them as the first verse from William Blake's - Auguries of Innocence) and see such a cultured garden as a safe place to make its home.
The Bird Bath is supplied with 3 separate glazed ceramic feet which lift it off the ground.
