Using your Ashlan Bird Bath is super easy. Just place it in your outdoor garden where birds can easily spot it. Fill the bowl with fresh water, and you'll start seeing feathered friends coming in no time. As for safety, be aware that it contains nickel compounds which can be linked to cancer, so handle it with care. When it comes to maintenance, empty and clean the bowl regularly to prevent the growth of algae and bacteria. Wipe the iron body gently with a soft cloth. Also, keep it in a covered area during extreme weather to protect the antique blue finish and extend its lifespan.
