Copper is naturally antimicrobial, inhibiting the growth of bacteria, algae, and fungi, which helps keep water cleaner for visiting birds and reduces disease risk. Highly resistant to rust and corrosion, copper is perfect for outdoor use year-round. Unlike ceramic or plastic alternatives, it withstands heat, rain, and freezing temperatures without cracking. Copper birdbaths require less frequent cleaning due to their antimicrobial properties; a simple rinse or gentle wipe is often enough. Over time, copper develops a beautiful blue-green patina, adding rustic charm to any garden, and it is non-toxic, making it safe for birds to use.

Tips for a successful birdbath: find a location that balances safety, visibility, and comfort for birds. Place it in morning sun with afternoon shade to keep water cool and reduce algae. It should be 6 to 10 feet from dense foliage, giving birds cover from predators while providing a clear view. The birdbath must be stable and not tip easily. Position it near a feeder to attract birds, but avoid placing it directly underneath to prevent seed contamination. Lastly, ensure easy access for regular cleaning and refilling changes.
