The birdbath is really lovely, my disappointment is in the solar pump. Works great if the sun is directly on it but with any shadow it stops completely. When I bought it I did not read that the solar panel does not hold a charge, I found that out after we set it up. Apparently there is a solar panel that the company sells that does hold a charge so when the sun is not directly overhead the pump will work. As a consumer I would think that having the later solar panel makes more sense. So, for most of the day even thought it’s in a sunny area the birdbath sits there just looking pretty.
