Abstract
A perch structure for a bird bath is disclosed. The perch is disposed in spaced relation above and outwardly of the peripheral edge of the bath water containing vessel so as to generally parallel the peripheral edge of the vessel. The perch generally comprises an impediment in the flight-path of birds toward the bird bath and serves to encourage birds to alight thereon and drop excrement prior to entering the bath water. According to a further aspect of the disclosure, the means for securing the perch to the bird bath vessel includes a portion comprising a metal carbon electrocouple compound that extends into the bath water and serves to inhibit algae growth.
