Coral's Wren-Friendly Copper Leaf Bird Bath
A shallow leaf bird bath the fairy-wrens can actually stand in
Shaped from a leaf of her father’s mulberry tree and finished by hand by Coral Treloar, 71, in her garden shed in Emu Plains, Western Sydney. Her eyes no longer manage the fine work. These are her last 64 leaves.
“The day Penrith hit 48.9 degrees, the fairy-wrens queued under my dripping garden tap for one drop at a time. The bird bath was full. It was just too deep for them. That evening I picked the biggest leaf off Dad’s mulberry tree.”
Coral Treloar · Emu Plains, NSW
What you get
About 27 cm across, 3.5 cm deep, with raised leaf veins
Sits on the rim and tells the real ones it’s safe to come down
51 cm tall with a forked two-prong foot
Packed by hand, a gift for anyone who feeds the birds
What five summers taught Coral about a fairy-wren
Only 3.5 cm deep. Fairy-wrens, spinebills and honeyeaters can stand in the water instead of swimming in it.
The raised veins of a real leaf give tiny feet something to grip. No slippery bowl.
The leaf lifts straight off the stake. Tip it out, rinse it, refill it. Fresh water every morning, even in a heatwave.
Light stake, forked foot. Pull it out and push it back in under a tree when the midday sun comes round.
In a garden bed, the lawn or a big pot on the deck. Many people keep one in the front and one in the back.
Three thin coats of copper colour, brushed into every vein, so it looks like it has been in your garden for years.
“Small birds like fairy-wrens need shallow water close to cover, and they need it fresh every day in summer. Most bird baths are simply too deep for them. Coral’s leaf is shallow, easy to rinse and easy to move into the shade. It’s exactly what I tell people to put out before the first heatwave.”

Perfect for
Why Coral’s leaves are different
- A real leaf. Every bath is shaped from a real mulberry leaf, veins and all.
- Edges smoothed by hand. Nothing sharp for small feet.
- Copper colour in three coats. Dark in the veins, warm on the ridges, like an old penny.
- Light enough to move. Into the shade at midday with one hand.
- Made to stay out. Metal with a weather-resistant finish, sun and rain.
Put it in your garden and see who comes to drink. If it isn’t right for you, one email to info@countycraftco.com is enough for a full refund.
Tip from Coral: In summer, rinse and refill every morning, and keep the leaf in the shade in the afternoon so the water stays cool. Every leaf is finished by hand, so the copper colour varies a little from piece to piece.

A note from Coral's garden shed:
On 4 January 2020, Penrith reached 48.9 degrees, the hottest temperature ever recorded in the Sydney area. That afternoon Coral Treloar watched the fairy-wrens queue under her dripping garden tap for one drop at a time. Her bird bath was full, but far too deep for them. That evening she picked the biggest leaf off her father's mulberry tree. For five summers she has finished every leaf by hand in the shed behind her house, about three hours each: smoothing the edges, brushing out the veins, three thin coats of copper colour, the little metal bird on the rim. This winter, her eyes stopped managing the fine work. 16 leaves are left. When they are gone, there will be no more.

How is it made?
How is it made?
Every bath starts as a real leaf from the mulberry tree Coral's father planted in 1964, pressed into a tray of damp sand. A small foundry in Smithfield pours the metal. Coral does the rest by hand: she smooths the edges, brushes out every vein, paints the copper colour on in three thin coats and sets the little metal bird on the rim. About three hours per leaf, packed by hand in Emu Plains, NSW.
