We have used this for food and water. Either way it looks nice in the yard.

Pros: looks good

Cons: won't stay sparkling forever

I love this! It will only look better with age!

Pros: can be used for water or seed

Cons: none

Exercise value for a bird bath?

We use this for bird seed in the winter when the regular bird feeder is "booked." It works well for five to six birds to munch a bit while waiting for an open spot on the feeder. I fill it with water in the summer; however, if you have a lot of wind in your area, check the water frequently--the wind tosses it out pretty quickly!

Pros: Versatile, durable, easy to clean

Cons: Wind dumps out water

My mom uses this in her garden, and some weeks she'll have seed in there, and other weeks she'll have water in there for birdy baths. Its versatile and cute, and easy to clean, and also nice and durable.

Pros: Good

Cons: None

I bought one of these for my mom as a present a few years back. Hers had a frog design in the bottom that used to worry the birds to death. It didn't keep them from using it, just kept trying to peck at the frog.

Pros: Pretty, durable, birds like

Cons: None
