A simple plant pot, turned upside down and placed near shrubs, trees, some sort of cover has brought a wide variety of feathered friends to my yard. Buy a clay pot and a plastic tray (saucer). It will be much easier to clean, especially in the summer. I use latex gloves since I know birds can carry diseases. I usually have two bird baths going at any time and often they are both in use.
Just change the water daily because of mosquitoes.
