HOMEMADE BIRDBATH

 This is my newest birdbath feature...made from an old "strawberry jar," a 12" clay pot and a glazed 16" saucer. I wanted a birdbath in the same area as my big bird feeder. But I didn't want to spend any money, so I came up with this using existing stuff I had. I've never had much luck with a strawberry jar except that I've been able to plant a few succulents and have them survive. So I used it as the base since it is about 24" tall. Then I found a clay pot to sit in the top hole and support the large saucer. The birds seem to like it and I finally have a good use for the jar. It proves that you can never have too many saucers!
