A bird bath is an artificial "puddle" or small shallow pond, created with a water- filled basin, in which birds may bathe and 'cool off,', and from which they may drink. A birdbath can be a garden ornament, small reflecting pool, outdoor sculpture, and part of creating a vital wildlife garden.
A birdbath is an attraction for many different species of birds to visit gardens, especially during the summer and drought periods. Birdbaths that provide a reliable source of water year round add to the popularity and "micro-habitat" support.
