Bird baths are more than just ornamental splash pools. They’re also a site where animals socialise and intense rivalries play out. And bird bath design, location and cleanliness can have a big impact.

If you want to attract birds to the garden, then bird baths are the best way to do so. Water will attract a wide variety of birds to the garden, and an ornamental bird bath can also enhance the beauty of your garden.

Many birds need fresh water both for drinking and bathing and so providing water in your yard is a great way to help them. Remember you don't need to limit yourself to just one.
