Default Don't do it!!!!!!!!

Made the mistake of a bird feeder and bird bath. Got mice, rats, raccoons. Ate thru my screen birds flew in what a mess. Had to put a panel in to replace bottom of screen. Just observe, don't interact, you will get more than you bargained for.

Does anyone here have experience with this or is a birdbath a bad idea?
