Of course I do its very important for birds on hot summer days I think everyone should have one ponds are good too.

Ok some people dont wanna put the water out in winter but actualy that is realy when we should be puting our bird baths out.In the winter water is frozen and the birds can't drink it till it melt's you may think they can just peck at it but they can't its too cold for there little beaks and its hard for them to swallow chunks of ice.

What you can do is get some hot water and put it in the bird bath or buy one of those winter heated bird bathes so the water shall never freez and the birds shall be thanking you.I was suprised at how many birds came to drink Bluejays,Sparrows,Starlings,Pigeons,Doves ect... they all loved the water with extra seeds on the side lol.

So keep that bird bath full ALL YEAR SPRING,SUMMER,FALL AND EVEN WINTER.

We have a little ornamental pond with a waterfall - the birds use the upper level as a bird bath and are in it everyday! I love watching them. The neighbors cats like to come drink out of the pond.

We have two and the birds LOVE it. One project on my list of "to do's" is to do a mosaic birdbath. You take a regular concrete birdbath and use tile or pieces of glass to create your design.

I love that mosaic idea myself Logan. I loved the one Kay got for her Mom for Mother's Day. Our K-Mart had sold out by the time I got there but the clerk said they were expecting more. I need to go tomorrow and check it out again

We have two in the summer and a heated one out in the winter. A bird bath is also a great way to get to see birds that you otherwise might not normally see that stop in for a drink. If your mom has any bird feeders out it'll probably be used right away, if not it may take a bit longer before you see many birds using it. I think it's a great idea for a gift
