It reads as a styling choice and it is a stability one — an odd number of legs spread wide means the stand cannot rock along an axis the way a tripod can when a bird lands off-centre or the ground settles. A freestanding bath is only as good as its footing, and the top-heavy ones are what you find on their side after an autumn gale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWater and food in one footprint\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo tiers doing two jobs. Water in one, seed in the other, in the space a single bird bath would take — which is the point in a small garden or on a patio where there is only room for one object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRunning both together also brings in more birds than either alone. Plenty of species that will never touch a seed feeder — thrushes, warblers, waxwings — come to water. Put the two within a few feet of each other and the traffic at both goes up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMetal, in an aged copper finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMetal rather than concrete or resin, so it will not crack when water freezes in it and will not go chalky in UV. The finish is a warm aged copper that reads as antique rather than bright, and it suits a planted border better than a white pedestal does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat we can and can't tell you\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe supplier publishes the material, the finish and the design but gives no dimensions or weight.
