Make Your Own Mosaic Bird Bath
According to Wikipedia, the term mosaic is defined as: “the art of creating images with an assemblage of small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other material. It may be a technique of decorative art, an aspect of interior decoration or of cultural and spiritual significance as in a cathedral. Small pieces, normally roughly cubic, of stone or glass of different colors, known as tesserae, (diminutive tessellae), are used to create a pattern or picture.”
Several articles can be found on the internet with detailed instructions on making your own mosaic bird bath. This can be a time consuming project involving three to four good chunks of time, but well worth it. A mosaic bird bath can be a beautiful and functional piece of art for your landscape, that wild birds will love too!

A Mosaic Bird Bath Brings Art to Your Yard
Mosaic Bird Bath If you’d like to spruce up your backyard, try adding a beautiful mosaic bird bath as a focal point. These ceramic birdbaths are versatile as they are able to hold a heater in freezing winter months–a critical time for birds when most baths are rendered useless. Vibrant colors are available in many themes, like frogs, fish, butterflies and hummingbirds. They are easy to clean, and most have some type of insert from the stand to the bowl, thus securing it properly.
Birds need water to drink and bathe as well. Feathers must be kept clean (preened) in order to work right. Shallow baths work best, or ones that have a walk-in or step-down approach for birds. A bird bath is a good investment for attracting birds, and one that will likely last a lifetime.
