Attract more birds with these small additions to your birdbath! 


Waterfall rocks are small, artificial rocks with an internal pump. The pump recirculates the water inside a birdbath, creating a constantly flowing waterfall.

Waterfall rocks are an attractive addition to your birdbath and the sound of the running water does a wonderful job in attracting more birds.

You need to know…

  •  Some pumps will need to be connected to an electrical outlet. Be sure to use an outlet with a ground fault interrupter.
  •  Some pumps are solar powered, but are more expensive.
  •  Waterfall rocks are sometimes sold without a pump. When purchasing, make sure the waterfall has a pump, or that you can supply your own.
  •  Pumps can be damaged in freezing weather.
