I live in a rental unit in a 2-family house. We don't have much in terms of yard space, and there is a lot of foot traffic and dog walkers on our corner. I have one bird bath bowl that I keep on the ledge of our porch, and I have a 16-inch terra cotta drip tray from a planter underneath a shrub outside. The birds prefer the drip tray under the shrub by far! I don't get to see birds visiting the bath very much, but I definitely see signs they they've visited. Unfortunately there is not a nearby outlet to plug in a water warmer in the winter. I've been keeping an eye on the daily temperature and I fill both baths with warm water as weather permits. Someday, I hope to have a yard to myself to create a native sanctuary for the local birds and critters.
