bird bath a big hit

Got this bird bath a couple of weeks ago from my local op shop and it is becoming a big hit in my garden with the birds. Here are some of the varieties so far willing to try it out , I wonder how many other different varieties I can capture using it.

1. Magpie Lark

2. Grey Butcherbird

3. Little Wattlebird

That's great, shoop! smiley

Just curious as to why the little bowl inside it?

Looks like you're providing a great service to the birds, and I'm sure as more discover it, you'll get lots of visitors. smiley

AnnieJ said the same about the bowl inside the bath posted in best videos of the magpie lark bathing.

As I explained I think this terracotta bowl was intended for dip and crackers ( not a bird bath) the smaller bowl is actually attached to the larger bowl so it is a all-in-one piece. When I saw it , i thought that would be ideal for my canaries but they still perferred their small white curved dish so I put it out in the garden and now its a big hit !!!!!!!!!!!!

nice 're-purposing" of the bowl

Great shots

Very cool idea for recycling the bowl ....  saves having to put up a sign with "No swimming or diving" cheeky

Great shots, I love to watch any birds in a bird bath ...even the noisy miners . I have a Currawong that loves my terracotta one and spills the water every where. He will miss it when I move away in a few weeks . The other bath seems to be just the doves and noisies
