What to look for: These garden vignettes share in common a desire to provide features attractive to birds. The birdbath is a small inviting spot for birds to have a splash. The birdhouse invites nesting birds every spring.
Be aware that having plant material up close to a water feature does provide cover for free-range cats that may stalk and kill wildlife visiting the water.
