We did not have good luck with ours but we do not live in a villa. We mostly attracted black birds & raccoons. Finally a raccoon managed to break it. Now we use the base for our sundial.

Also if there are any rat traps near your property (including nearby rec centers, etc) and a rodent eats the bait & needs water to drink, they will smell a nearby waterfall, pond or birdbath.

But hopefully you have better luck.
As another poster mentioned, with bird flu I personally would not try it again now
