Visit Colonel Bird's Bath, Kirstenbosch, South Africa

Colonel Bird’s Bath was built in approximately 1811 by Colonel Christopher Bird. The bird-shaped pool was used to collect the spring water, and let it stand and clarify before being piped to the house. Situated on the Eastern slopes of Cape Town's Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch is internationally acclaimed as one of the seven most magnificent botanical gardens in the world, and one of Cape Town's Big 7 tourism attractions. The estate, covering 528 hectares, includes a cultivated garden and a nature reserve. The developed garden (36 ha) displays collections of southern African plants including many rare and endangered species.
