An online friend told me how to make a very cheap, but popular bird bath. The birds love this bath! It's perfect for perching. It is made using a tomato cage that is cut down in size with wire cutters (though I had HD cut them for me), a plastic pot saucer, and bricks in the middle of the bath for the birds to sit on when bathing or drinking from this birdbath. I have two of them in my yard.
