I have had this bird bath for more than 10 years, and only my stupidity ruined it - my power outlet wasn't working so ice froze in the bath, and when I foolishly tried to remove the ice by banging it on the edge of my deck, I cracked the bowl. But I am on the site to purchase a replacement bowl, since the old one was fabulous! Love the depth, the bigger birds can bathe without a problem and I don't have to refill it twice a day like a smaller bowl I have. The birds and I just LOVE this bath!
