I had hoped that there would have been a table made out of concrete to match my bird bath, but I've never been able to find anything. I do appreciate that the problem with concrete is creating holes to allow the water to escape.
Wondering if anyone has any ideas or been able to convert a concrete bird bath to a bird table?

You could use a concrete fence post for the stability and core strength, and use the predrilled holes to mount a table, and drive through some bars to suspend feeders
If you want it to look pretty then put wooden panels/planks around the post, but keep them off the ground"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52423138","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"captainbeaky"},"datePublished":"2024-03-20T12:28:24.000Z","text":"Do a search for bird feeder tray. Should be able to find one that fits your bird bath. Might need to raise it up on some bricks or find a strong drill to create some holes in the concrete.
Plenty of metal (or plastic) bird tables/ feeders for sale."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52430827","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"tardytortoise"},"datePublished":"2024-03-21T13:14:19.000Z","text":"recycled plastic ?

I particularly like the idea of plastic.
I'm going to do the same as I use for my bird box. From Screwfix I purchased a 3m 20mm Metal Conduit Deta Round Steel Galvanised Class 4 Conduit Tube 20mm x 3m - Screwfix which screws into a 20mm dome cover like this Niglon 20mm Dome Cover Galvanised (Sold in 1's) (DC20G) | CEF
I then screwed the dome into the bird box and cemented around the bottom of the conduit.
It's been up for around 5 years without any issues.
I just need some form of hard wearing plastic tray to screw into the dome and cut the conduit down to about 1m. I can drill some water holes into the plastic. Plastic would also be easier to keep clean than wood."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52531548","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"skyking_comms"},"datePublished":"2024-04-06T15:52:55.000Z","text":"In case it helps others..
