I'm going to leave pat of it until after it has berries. We have four water features in our small lot, but I took the bird feeder down because rats were coming up from the greenbelt at night, followed by rat snakes. Our neighbors have a deluxe feeder, but no water. It's been working out fine. The birds eat, then have a drink and a bath here. My neighbor just walked over to say she saw a huge rat during the day and they're re-thinking leaving the feeder up. I have some berry bushes that are blooming already, and I hope the rats don't like 'em! I guess the birds will have to eat berries or fly north...
