Birdbaths do not have to be fancy. For a super-inexpensive bath, just bury an old trash can lid at ground level to create a permanent water area. Put a layer of flat rocks on the bottom to give the birds better footing. To attract a greater variety of birds, add motion to your birdbath by letting your garden hose drip into the bath. To conserve water, do this over an area of your yard that needs a drink. Devices called misters and drippers are available commercially for the same purpose.
