In reply to Blue skies. No, the paint hasn't harmed the birds. I let it fully cure. gail

I wonder if the paint for the “lid” would harm the birds drinking water from it?

Great tip Renee! Thank you. I love watching and listening to the birds. This project needs a new update. It’s latest purpose was a succulent planter. 🙂

A little trick if you are using a lid that is too deep for the birds, lay some stone in the bottom to raise the depth to where they will use it. Simple 1″ sized stones will work perfectly

In reply to bonnie. Some big rocks in the bottom would be fine for the birds to Guage the depth of the water and give them something to stand on. Beeslike the water, too!

This is so neat! It turned out really pretty. I am always stopping to look at the lamps at good will, thinking what could I make with that. Birdbath never crossed my mind. (-; Thanks so much for sharing!

In reply to SSH.

Birds need a solid foundation when using a bird bath. They stand on ” the shore ” and not swim like ducks. If you had something large enough, stable , to place in the deep to create an island, the birds would land on that and you will be able to use a deep lid. Just an FYI…bird baths must be kept clean. Wash with a brush and running water. Vinegar is safe but be careful of surrounding flowers, when it is flushed out of bath….Birds need water all year long, even in Winter. Learn how to provide water through the Audobon Society. <:

Love the birdbath. So cute. I never would have thought to paint something for an animal to drink from, worrying the paint might be bad for them. Have you read anything on this one way or another?
You’ve got a lot of neat crafts.
Thanks
