If you think that having a garden pond or fountain is not possible for you to have, you are wrong. In fact, anyone can have one, even if you only have a patio or balcony. You can create your own little oasis to relax near. It will add a lot of style to your yard as well.
In the simplest form, a water feature in your yard can be a dish of water for a birdbath. The dish needs to be at least 6 inches across and a half-inch deep. The water needs cleaned out every couple of days to keep the dish clean, and to keep the water healthy for the birds to drink/bathe with.
If you set the dish on the ground, you will probably attract birds, butterflies, squirrels, frogs, toads, etc. If you hang the birdbath, you will restrict the visitors to mostly flying animals. If you want to protect birds from predatory animals, this is the best option.
