What do you think of the birdbath that I just put out in my backyard?

I do not have a bird feeder as of yet but that will come soon hopefully after taking care of my possible mold situation in my home. Those are great ideas that you have for decorating around the birdbath. I had to keep my roommate out of the birdbath. LOL Just kidding.

It is very important that the birds have water as well as food to survive. They need to cool themselves off as well when it is hot and humid or when they get dirty. :-) I just need to get a bird feeder to put back there with it.

That is awesome that you feed the birds everyday and sounds like you have a wonderful place to take care of them. I have yet to see one bird in my birdbath and plan on getting a birdfeeder very soon as well to feed them. Does putting ice cubes in the water help?

I feed the birds in my yard everyday. It's very hot and humid here in New Jersey today, so I filled the bird bath with water and put ice cubes in it. So far this morning I've seen Robins, Doves, Finches, Black Birds, Crows and a Cardinal splashing in the water. I wish they could smile so I could see how happy they are. I bought two frozen pizzas for a dollar each. I put one in the oven and it was aweful. I only ate one slice. So I put the rest of it outside by the birdbath and I also put the other frozen one there. My yard now looks like a bird sanctuary. They are all over the place. I guess birds like pizza with sausage. The house squirrel is also out there eating the crust. I have a squirrel that basically lives in my yard. Lloyd

That is looking so much better now that the shadows have moved on and the pebbles, Ken, are a really nice addition.. I have seen some people put a little edging around to keep the pebbles from being carried into the gras....Have you ever thought of that?:)+

Thank you for the compliments my dear friend. Here is a newer picture as I already had some work done. I bought some pebbles to put around the birdbath. My friend dug an area to put the birdbath in and filled around it with the pebbles. A birdfeeder will be next.

I ended up buying one from Amazon.com as it was on sale. It is very nice though I have yet to see any birds use it but probably need to get something that will make the water move. I will take pictures when I see birds there using it. Great idea about designing it with my artwork.

I have just seen the pics of your birdbath as they werenm't showing up the other day when I was online (A glitch somewhere) It looks lovely. I hope those birds are starting to come around now.

Actually I have already done this as I have pebbles surrounding the base of the birdbath. I also relocated the birdbath to the middle of my backyard and hopefully will have a birdfeeder to go along with it for them to enjoy. It will be even nicer when I get the birdfeeder as my friend, who is a landscaper, has some creative ideas.

It is wonderful to watch the birds play around in the water and be able to cool off during the summer and having something to drink. A bird feeder will be the next thing that I will put out there and possibly a bird house. I have the woods right behind me so I am not sure if a house is necessary. I have been pretty busy myself lately.

The next thing that I want to get is a birdfeeder so that the birds will have food and water to enjoy. My neighbor is going to help with the landscaping around the birdbath so hopefully in the near future it will look even better. Thank you for the suggestions.

It will come in handy at any point in life as birds are very cute I think and it will be neat watching them having fun in the water and having something to drink. Of course, I may not be home much to see them out there.

That is okay that you do not like it. I appreciate your comment though. Everyone has their own taste and this is the only one that i could find that will attract small and larger birds. Plus I want to do some landscaping around it or possibly add to it to make it better.

I was just talking to my neighbor and we are going to put the birdbath in the middle of my backyard where it is more visible to the birds plus we are going to put mulch around it as well as some rocks. I was thinking the same thing but since he is a landscaper he could give me a better idea. I love watching the birds too. I have not gotten a birdfeeder yet though that may happen at some point.

I hope that you are having a wonderful weekend and enjoying the nice weather. I too hope that I get a variety of different birds and will see what happens once I have done some landscaping around it.

I do like the bird bath a lot and just need to do more around it to make it more attractive for the birds plus maybe put in the middle of the yard where it is more visible. My neighbor is going to help with what to put around it including mulch and maybe some rocks.
