Platinouno, Don't forget that birds need drinking water all year round, if the water freezes in winter, you need to check it regularly.
I don't put water in a dish for birds because I have a pond with a wide cascade, but I put drinking water out for baby hedgehogs (I live in the UK) I like to keep the little guys away from the pond.

Good idea. I'll add an inverted saucer and a rock. I clean it with a brush and add clean water about every 3 days. They really seem to like that.

Player BARTEMAEUS 10, I live in Saskatchewan where water freezes in winter. This question had me wondering where winter birds get moisture. Looked on line; they get it from snow, insects or wild fruit. I’m wondering how juicy insects are!

I've had racing pigeons most if my life. use an old shower basin for the bath. they absolutely love it.

Neculai13, 2.54 centimeters is one inch, can you do the math from there?

Depends on the bird! In my garden, the bigger birds like currawongs and magpies like a deeper birdbath (about 15 cm), but the smaller honeyeaters, thornbills and pardalotes seem happiest in very shallow dishes, even just 2 cm of water.

As an older American, I do not use meters - I find it confusing and don't know anyone to teach me.
Even Google! Just thick headed I guess -

5 metres! Good for an Ostrich I suppose…

make the game easier
Neculai13
who know how much is 2 inches!?
SOS
I have 2 birdbaths next to each other. One is the suggested 2" & the other one is nearly double that. The birds all seem to prefer the deeper one, maybe it's cos they're daredevil Aussie birds 🤪😉😁
