I know this sounds really silly, but I have a metal rose arch, which has a very large hedge behind it. The arch looks nice with a container under it. However, the birdies all nest in the hedge and then hop out and sit on the arch. Oh, there's a robin on it now. I guess I shall just have to forego the container and move it elsewhere. Here's an idea, could I put one of the bird baths in the archway. It would be like an "En Suite"
