What's your feeding station like? (2 Viewers)

My station is a simple platform feeder made by using a clay pot base. It's about 15in (38cm) in diam and 1in (2.5cm) high. It's easy to clean and replace if necessary. For inclement weather, I invert it so the water doesn't pool in it; then flip it back over when the showers end.

The watering pan is 9in (23cm) disposable aluminum pie tin. I weight it with a rock. I like the aluminum tin because it reflects the sunlight and attracts birds to its location. And, it's easily replaced. So far, having it ground-sited seems to work o.k.

Drawback, both are vulnerable to the pesky squirrels. But, the way I see it that's nature's plan.

Nice idea for the bird bath. I currently use a plant pot holder but doesn't really attract much to it. Might have to experiment with aluminium dishes.
