I have used one that looked like copper, a pretty expensive one that came
from one of the bird stores. After a while, the "copper" came off because it
was just a coating. The feeder looked pretty mottled and ugly. Make sure
whatever you buy, it is not just a coated metal, but solid all the way
through. I suspect a squirrel did the damage to your bird bath; I've had
that problem before. What I found with the metal feeder is that the feeder
didn't get too hot if it was filled with water because the water helped to
release the heat. Same in winter; the water gets cold, yes, and freezes just
like it would in a concrete bath, but the freezing doesn't crack the metal
like it does something more porous like ceramic or concrete

Some animal has knocked off and broken yet another concrete bird bath
top. I was thinking of getting a metal one, but worry that the metal
could be too hot in summer and too cold in winter. Does anyone have
any experience with metal birdbaths?
