I found an old metal bird bath at a local flea market, and I converted it into a hummingbird bird bath with water fountain. I have two visitors this year, and I want to create a safe and beautiful space for them to rest and enjoy. I refreshed the old birdbath with paint and top coating, and I made a small water fountain that creates a gentle water flow for the birds. I added a glass pie pan in the bath for the water to sit. I don't feel comfortable for the water to sit in the bath directly even though I used all non-toxic and animal safe materials. I use filtered water and change water daily to keep the birds healthy.
