Der Bildhauer Mario Petrucci schuf 1953 die in der Nähe des Johann-Strauß-Sohn-Denkmals gelegene Vogeltränke.

Auf einem kleinen Sockel, der einen Felsen darstellen soll, befinden sich drei aus Bronze gefertigte Pinguine. Ihnen gegenüber, auf einer kleinen Insel im Becken sitzt ein weiterer kleinerer Pinguin, der so wie der Mittlere der Großen als Wasserspeier fungiert.

The sculptor Mario Petrucci created this birdbath located near the Johann Strauss Son Memorial in 1953.

On a small base, which is intended to represent a rock, there are three penguins made of bronze. And against them, on a small island in the basin sits another small penguin. This one and the middle one of the bigger penguins act as gargoyles.
