If you allow me, don't forget some little "ladder" for the insects to be able to escape drowning if they fall into the water or don't know how to go out.

I’ve got two ground level bird baths, which are two different sizes. My bathing visitors are Blackbirds, Starlings, Sparrows, Magpies and Wood Pigeons. But many others drink from them. Because they are on the ground, the hedgehog visitors also have access to water.

Love this idea. I truly love your accent also. ❤

I put one flat rock in my bird bath as it’s a little deep. Cleaning the birdbath with all those rocks in it would be a nightmare. My one rock got slimy after just a day or two and I put in fresh water every day.

Notice how they dont show an outcome? Its a completely different bird bath at the end...

I used a plant terracotta color water drainer to feed the birds it was just a dish, which they loved... now I bought a brand new bright blue bird bath from the hardware store and they won't bathe in it? do I need to place a rock in the center of it will they come and bathe
