Trixie TX-55510 bird water bowl is a compact, lightweight water dish and shallow bird bath with an 800 ml capacity and a 22 cm diameter. Finished in grey, it is designed to provide drinking water or a safe, shallow bathing area for small to medium-sized pet and garden birds. The low, wide profile helps birds access water easily and reduces the risk of tipping when placed on flat surfaces, feeder platforms, balconies or inside aviaries.
Advantages
This bird water bowl offers a stable, shallow design that suits natural drinking and bathing behavior of many small birds. Its 800 ml capacity provides a balance between refill frequency and water freshness. The lightweight construction makes the bowl easy to move and clean, while the smooth surface simplifies rinsing and drying. The neutral grey colour blends unobtrusively with outdoor and indoor settings and the 22 cm diameter gives enough space for small to medium species to bathe or drink comfortably.
Suitable for
- Pet birds kept in cages and aviaries (small to medium species)
- Garden birds visiting feeders and perches
- Balconies, terraces and outdoor feeding stations
- Temporary use during cleaning of primary water sources
When it may not be suitable
This shallow bowl is not intended for large bird species that require deeper or larger bathing areas. It may also be less suitable in windy outdoor locations unless secured or placed in a sheltered spot, as lightweight bowls can shift or spill. For environments where freezing is a concern, water left outdoors may freeze and require daily attention in cold weather.
