Around is designed as a bird table or bird bath for hanging on your balcony, terrace or even in a tree. A hanging bird table or bath keeps birds safe from cats and makes them easier to observe. The ceramic shell for use as a bird bath is sealed. The shell for use as a bird table has two holes for drainage.
We developed Around in collaboration with Italian designer and bird expert, Luca Galmarini.
Construction
The steel parts are made of strong stainless steel that will not rust. It is easy to assemble, without the need for tools. Just put the roof onto the ring and secure with the screw sleeve. Then, screw the hook into the top of the sleeve. Now fit the ceramic bowl into the ring. The groove fits the radius perfectly and keeps the ceramic in place. Around has a very sturdy and storm-proof construction. You can always use a chain or rope to compensate if the hanging height is not suitable.
Ceramic bowl
The ceramic bowl is made of CeraNatur® and coated with Granicium®. The rough surface gives birds and insects security. The high-quality ceramic is frost-proof, UV-resistant and sea water-resistant.
Cleaning
To protect against disease, the ceramic bowl must be cleaned regularly, preferably every two days. To do so, take the bowl off the ring and clean it with water and a brush. Natural vinegar-based cleaner can be used for heavier soiling. Then replace the bowl and fill with food.
Feeding in summer
Because of shortages of food, experts now advise also putting suitable food out for birds during the summer. Suitable food is available to buy from pet shops or conservation organisations.
Accessories
Around is also available as a set with two bowls, for feeding or for use as a bird bath. You can give the birds water in the spring and summer, and then switch the bowls around in autumn and winter to transform Around into a bird feeder. The bowls can also be purchased separately.
