We don't get a lot of birds on the city fringe, some finches or sparrows or something cute and little, and pigeons. The latter I loathe with a passion (that's almost tautologous but allowable on an early Friday morning)
Back when I lived at home my Mum had a bird bath (pictured above) - I remember watching all sort of lovely feathery creatures wallowing in its waters (when there was water in there). The rosellas and lorikeets and more. To bird bath or not to bird bath that is the question. But thanks Lovely Ms L for bringing them to my attention!

Since you grow tomatoes I would advise against intentionally attracting birds to your balcony. They're cut to watch in the bird bath, but not so cute when they're digging in to your crop. That's the reason I only put hummingbird feaders on my patio.
I should probably have a bird bath but I am entirely to lazy to fill & clean it. I do feed the birds but there is no bathing in my yard.
Thanks Fern, didn't think of that. Still we only really get two varieties here in the city (such a shame).
Dan, maybe you could hire a kind of pool boy for the bird bath!
