I purchase this raft after looking on Amazon for something that I wanted but wasn't sure even existed. the great thing about Amazon is it shows many products and I found this Bird Bath Raft... which is exactly what I wanted. I read the other reviews and they were happy with the product so I purchased one. I was looking for something to place into water features that might be a bit too deep for birds, since I know most wild birds (like finches) won't go into water that they think is too deep (2" or greater in depth) or doesn't have an edge for them to stand. They like shallow water. so, this product seemed perfect. my backyard is already a bird oasis so there are many different water features for them to choose from. I placed this into a Mexican Talavera bird bath and so far, so good. good price, good quality and it actually does float like a raft. i'm happy and the birds are too! :)
