I do not water the lawn. I do sometimes water potted plants outdoors. There are stray animals around. Both wild and domestic. Cats, dogs, squirrels, birds, etc. Not only do I keep the birdbath filled, but I also have some crock dishes around out front. My own pets prefer these to drink from. I am sure others do to. It is a little thing, but it does help.

I only water the few trees I have other than the elms, the grass has to fend for itself mostly

I always give the crumbs of biscuits to ants when i go to the wild,i always tried my best to tell people the importance of the freedom and the craziness of Communism. These are little things i can do.Because i live in a totalitarian Fascist Country and i'm too poor,even i want to do more good things,it's just beyond my ability

I never thought about supplying wild animals with water but there is the large drainage ditch at the end of the yard that always seems to have water trickling down it. I'm sure the animals appreciate what you're doing for them.

I always had dishes of water outside as well as the bird baths. I'm sure having water available is appreciated.

I put out food for the birds and have been adopted by some cats, who pop by for a bite. Mr H, the biggest one, is a handsome black cat and I have gotten him a house in the garden and he lives there full time. He won't come indoors, so for the moment he is happy

I'm sure all the animals appreciate your kindness.

I have dishes under the taps of the garden hose and the rain barrel to catch drips. I do see birds drink from them. Then there's the wash basin under another rain spout that usually stays full.

We have bird feeders and bird bath. We have a bushy area on our property that we mostly leave undisturbed. It is always full of birds. When pet cats get dropped off

we have found them homes.
