He has more baths a bit further up the yard and the bigger birds mostly go to those. He must have dozens of birds every day coming to drink or have a bath.

I hope I can make something nice for the birds but I don't have all the supplies I'd like to do that. I do have old pots on a table that I fill with water for them but it's not a pretty sight at all.

I don't think the birds will worry too much about 'pretty'. It's good of you to put out water for them. I'm sure it's appreciated.

Yes you can start with that and see what prevails after the start. Note that everything bigger once started with humble beginnings

@JudyEv It is fun to see the big sized birds doing it - water fowl, crow and even peacocks. I have videos on all the birds frolicking in our birdbath

He has a lovely garden now. It's so shaded that even in the middle of summer, it feels less hot than it really is.

I do see the wet bird flying away. How nice is this setup. I need more bird baths in my garden. I keep them up year round.

Especially in our warmer weather, these are very well used. He often has to refill the bowls through the day.

@JudyEv I remove the ice in the winter and give them fresh water. Spoiled birds.

@JudyEv Perhaps bird watching can also wean away young kids as well as Teenagers from mobiles for some time. And may be some of the grown ups too !

They flock there in their dozens. There are at least a few throughout the day.

That's so neat. I used to provide water, seeds, and green plants on the deck. Birds build nests and birds hatched. Then after several years they left and a bird hasn’t come back since.

I wonder why the birds left. Has there been a lot more deveopment in the area perhaps?

It's lovely and green with plenty of water and probably insects too for the birds to eat.

It's a good thing your BIL made the area look like a resort where birds can unwind and groom themselves. I'm curious as to how many different kinds of birds go there to have a dip.
