a shallow basin filled with water, placed outdoors to provide a drinking and bathing spot for birds
A bird bath is a shallow container, often made of stone, ceramic, or plastic, designed to hold water for birds to drink and bathe in. It is usually placed outdoors in gardens or yards to attract birds, providing them with a safe space to clean themselves and drink water. Bird baths come in various shapes and sizes, and some are raised on stands, while others sit directly on the ground. They help support local wildlife by offering birds a source of water, especially during hot or dry weather.
