I even use the saucers that are meant for large pots. The water is not very deep, but the birds of all sizes love them. I nestle them among my shrubs to give them privacy 😁 and a feeling of safety from flying predators. My husband and I alert each other to run to a window to watch birds bathing. (Hypertufa might be another option if you don’t have cement.)🌸🐝
Thank you , can I ask what is the weeping grass over the bird bath( excellent idea , I have Been looking for a shallow large inexpensive bowl for ages , just make my own!)
We don't have a particularly wide range of cool climate native annuals and in fact most of our showiest annual tend to be desert ephemerals. Regards Stephen
And of course if you make your mound a little higher , with a few drainage holes... the result will become a mini trough ideal for planting choice small plants ......with the only proviso it somehow doesn't look like an old turd.🤨😏
Matthew and Stephen are simply wonderful together

For those who may be limited in funds or resources, I’ve found great vintage platters and dishes that may be used for bird baths at re-sale shops.
Great idea!
