My wife has an actual bird bath in one of the garden areas in the front yard. I keep it sprinkled with mosquito killing tablets and those are supposedly safe for the birds. It still gets nasty looking with alga, but birds seem to like it. The goofy thing is someone in the neighborhood either puts out bread for the birds, and the crows "cache" their bread in the freaking water. Crows will store food for later, and at least one of them thinks the birdbath is a great place. Often my wife goes out and there are several lumps of soggy bread in there.
Lots of birds, lizards, squirrels, and other critters get a drink from our Koi pond. There are times an entire flock of birds swarm into the pond to bath and drink.
