Editorial Reviews
Product Description:
API 645 Bird Bath Bowl with Tilt-to-Clean Deck Rail Mounting Bracket. The bowl is 20 x 2 deep. The shape of the rim is designed to be easily grasped by a bird's talons making it a natural perch and, as a result, encourages landings. Includes a mounting bracket that firmly attaches to deck rails. The bath can be tilted for cleaning without removing it from the rail.
Amazon.com Review:
Birds enjoy drinking, playing and bathing in many pools of water, whether splashing in a puddle brimming from a pothole, water treatment reservoir, or a public fountain. However, some of these swimming areas are tainted by oil and gasoline run-off, sewage, residue from a road's tar or asphalt, or heavy chlorination. Such unnatural impurities may actually leave a bird dirtier post-bath and endanger its physical wellbeing. While controlling the water quality of every puddle in the world is impossible, bird lovers can at least provide a safer bathing pool for feathered friends by installing a home birdbath and keeping the basin stocked with clean water. To help encourage frequent refills of fresh water, Allied Precision Industries (API) created this birdbath model with a hinged mount to enable easy disposal of dirty, stagnant water. Simple in appearance to fit into any outdoor décor, the birdbath basin features plastic construction that fares well through all weather conditions. Birds come to rest on the basin's rim, which is designed specifically to accommodate a natural talon grip. The basin affixes to API's unique EZ-Tilt-To-Clean deck rail mount. A sturdy hinge allows users to flip the basin over to quickly dump dirty water over the railing. The mount uses a screw clamp to grip a rail, needing no drills for installation. To best attract birds, place the birdbath in a sheltered southeast location and stock with fresh water regularly. The bath measures 20 inches in diameter with a 2-inch depth. This item weighs 4.9 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

Content: I just bought this bird bath and am tempted to return it. The brackets do not fit together, so the bowl does not clip onto the railing properly. It is unstable and not level. It is just poorly made and definitely not worth the money.
Summary: Wrong choice

Content: I bought this for my mom so that she might enjoy a closer view of the many birds in her yard. It was easy to install and the birds seem to have accepted it. Whenever I visit, Mom reports on the birds she has observed using it, so I am happy with the result. I cannot say anything about how long it will hold up, but even if it only lasts a few seasons, Mom (and I) will have gotten plenty of value from it.
Summary: Good Results

Content: This is a great birdbath! It was easy to install and the birds found it quickly. It actually gets quite crowded because they all love it!!!
Summary: Love it and the Birds found it quickly!

Content: This is a sturdy, well-made product. The birds LOVE it. It's a little larger than it looks in the picture, I think. Easy to care for. My deck railing is a 1" x 6", and fits perfectly.
Summary: Birds love this!!

Content: I purchased this to replace a smaller, also deck-mounted birdbath. I knew it was 20" but I guess I didn't realize how BIG a 20" diameter birdbath is. My husband said, "what birds are bathing here - geese?" It would be nicer if it had a little shallow shelf-like area for the smaller birds to bathe. It's 2" deep, nice for the robins but the finches are hesitant. I kept the smaller birdbath up for the little guys.
Summary: Nice for bigger birds
