A good addition to a Garden, IMO.

I dont like dirty animals bathing where i grow my food. I am civilized.
Algae is good for the brain and libido. You should try it, old man.I dont like dirty animals bathing where i grow my food. I am civilized.
You grow your food in a birdbath?
What are you on, the algae diet?
I have several birdbaths/critter watering vessels about my land. Some of them are modified to be more friendly to butterflies, for instance. Some of them sit on the ground for whatever creature might want to come along and have a drink of slimy water infested with mosquito larvae.
Feeders will make a bigger difference in luring birds in than water will though. I put out two feeders and two suet cages ahead of a blizzard and have kept them stocked since. There has been a massive improvement in the number and diversity of birds on my property since. I never knew my area had so many woodpeckers, but it certainly does now. Had about a dozen little ravens all together splashing in my bird bath the other day. Lots more little birds (I am not sure the names of many of them).
I do have a birdbath, but I never use it. I find the shower in the bathroom much roomier. /rimshot

I used to keep feeders and suet and thistle bags up. Until a black bear got wind of it and destroyed half my feeders.
I regularly get tons of tufted titmice, chickadees, the occasional nuthatches and wrens and cardinals, and a few woodpeckers of various types. Pileated woodpeckers are common and Downies and I did get an endangered-species one, I'd have to look it up to recall which one.
