I have a tree that is dead that I have to cut down. Was thinking of putting a bird bath on the flat stump. Any reason why this wouldn't work?

If you can find a ring-type stand to allow for the cord that comes from the middle of the bottom, you'll be all right. Our stand is only about 5 inches high but has little feet. The bird bath is a delight to watch!

If the diameter of the tree trunk was around the size of a 4X4 should work ok. Otherwise you will need something on top of that stump to attach it to.

Yes it will work fine, the bird bath is kind of flat on the bottom so it will sit without tipping, but I have put a brick in mine, or something heavy would work to keep the bird bath from blowing off if there are strong winds. Actually i think it would look very cute sitting on a stump!

none whatsoever as far as the heated bird bath goes. but how low to the ground is this stump? i find the birds like the birdbaths to have some height to them. also, please note that you will definitely need an extension cord - as the cord on the bird bath is very short. And, finally, i have three of these (yes - i love them) and put a nice size rock in the middle of each - both for stability and the birds stand on the rock and feel secure about the depth of the water. enjoy!

It should work. There is a circular frame under the bird bath which helps it to sit fairly level so I don't see a problem.

As you can see the bottom is rounded, so as long as you hollow out a deep enough spot on the stump, I would think it would work just fine.

You can hang it from a tree limb but I would trim the limb so it does not get caught up. I am on my second owl ( the first one went on the injured and deferred list) to get rid of the woodpeckers. So far so good. What I did was to trim the top of an eight foot pine and put the owl right on the top. This way he flies as soon as the wind blows. I used duck tape and tied him on securely. He has scared my neighbors who drive by on occasion. The key is to convince the woodpeckers that my house is not a tree. Good luck.

You can, it's all separate parts. You can even cut it up and place the tree more to the middle and birds on both sides

We have no idea why birds stay away from this bird bath. But they do. Could be that the water doesn't move or there is enoughwater in other locations. We moved it and still no birds. I would not recommend this bird bath.

I have small birds that use it to bathe. I even saw a dove on there once but bigger birds would dislodge it I think.

You can hang the hook on a pole. We have it hanging on a tree branch. Because it is circular shape the birds access from all sides.

I am sure this coating is toxic and birds will drink from a bath. I feel this could make them sick or possibly worse. I used it on brick and it did not work for me.

Rob, I never tried that but it should work as long as you get it secured. The Woodpecker folks would be the best people to ask.

I attached it to a flight cage with finches and they loved it. If you have something to attach to outside, probably any birds would love it as their bath source.

Never saw one try it. Squirrels could be but that long wire is a problem for them. Starlings, however, like the black birds seem to make a way.

I have not done this, but in principle yes. But you need to drill holes deep into tree to ensure systemic delivery. But I would suggest just cutting it down. A big dead tree is a dangerous tree.

I would cut them down with stumps as short as possible, then drill a hole in the center of the stumps and pour some of the solution, soaking the stumps. It seems neater and quicker that way without having to spray it into the air. The stumps will die and rot. Then you can break them up once rotten.

It's a matter of application.You may have to use the "stump application" method.Cut the bush down to a stump. Apply this straight using an old paint brush (see the instructions). Cover the sides and everything down to the ground. Game over. It will die.

You might have to contact the maker. It's not toxic to birds. It is a hard flat black finish.

I have been sprinkling it in the aspen shavings for my birds nest boxes. ( Cockatiels, conures, lovebirds and parrotlets) and it works great, just sprinkle it not too much. I would think it would work also for doves. Worth trying.

Ew and Yuck! Not sure. I wouldn't expect it would cut anything wet too easily. The greener the tree - the harder it is to cut through it so I suppose fresh bone would act the same.

It does not matter where you place it - IT DOES NOT WORK!!!!! - We have many fruit trees - birds love them - have tried everything the latest was the "Bird-X Tape" and it was a waste of money and time.After the bird tape blows in the wind it stars to break off in small pieces and blow away. The sparkling from the tape seams to attract the birds. Wish some one would come up with something that rely works other than my 12 ga.
