If you’re looking for a cheap way to attract birds to your garden, this £14 Dunelm bird bath will do just the trick
As spring sets in and numerous bird species begin to make their way back to the UK, why not welcome the wildlife into your garden with the addition of a bird bath? But not just any bird bath – one that also doubles up as a garden feature. Enter, Dunelm’s Fallen Fruits Solar Fountain Bird Bath.
At £14, it’s a bargain – and is powered fully by sunlight, so no wires and it doesn’t need to sit near a plug. The interchangeable spray heads mean you can switch up the look depending on your mood, whether you want something subtle or a little more eye-catching to make neighbours envious. It’s also a relatively small and very affordable addition that makes your garden feel more considered.
Designed to sit neatly in a bird bath, it helps create a calm, almost spa-like atmosphere while attracting wildlife at the same time. So if you don’t already have a bird bath to add this fountain to, we recommend picking up Dunelm’s Fallen Fruits Traditional Cast Iron Bird Bath with 2 Birds, £12, alongside it.

Of this bird bath, one reviewer pens: “Made and heavy so filled it with water and put in the garden, and it has been well used for birds to drink from and filled up time and time again. Well worth the money.”
“It’s very good quality and easy to assemble within minutes. It’s definitely going to last a very long time. I wanted a separate feeder for the larger birds that visit my garden (crows/magpies etc because everything is trying to survive!) Because they’d gobble up all the smaller birds feeding station before the little ones had a chance!” says another.
it’s worth noting Dunelm’s bird bath isn’t on the larger end of the bath scale, so if you want to attract a few more visitors, check out Amazon’s Metal Freestanding Birdbath & Support, £14.49 – which has clever prongs at the bottom to stick into the grass so that it doesn’t easily knock over in the wind.
For something that acts as even more of a statement, while also attracting birds, the Stone-Like Solar Fountain for Bird Bath, £149.99, is a very worthwhile investment– especially if you plan on spending a lot of time outdoors looking at your garden this season.
