Bird bath

A bird bath comprising:

• a bird bath basin adapted to hold water;
• a water reservoir contained within the basin;
• an electrically operated pump contained within the base and being adapted to continuously pump water from the reservoir to the bowl so long as electricity is supplied to the pump;
• an overflow means for channeling overflow water from the bird bath basin and into the reservoir so as to prevent the water level in the basin from exceeding a desired maximum level, the overflow means comprising a water inlet positioned in the basin at the desired maximum water level and a water channel extending between the water inlet opening and the reservoir;
• means for draining the basin when the pump is not operating;
• and
• means for selectively delivering electricity to the electric pump so as to selectively fill and drain the basin.

A bird bath comprising:

• a bird bath basin adapted to hold water;
• a pump module comprising:
• a housing defining a reservoir adapted to hold water;
• a pump contained in the housing and being interconnectable with the basin for pumping water from the reservoir to the basin;
• and
• a power cord having a first end interconnected with the pump and a second end terminating in a male electrical plug;
• and
• an overflow port positioned at a height corresponding to the desired maximum water level, the overflow port being interconnectable with the water reservoir to recirculate water from the basin to the reservoir.

A bird bath comprising:

• a base having an inner compartment and a top opening;
• a bird bath basin adapted to hold water and being mountable on the base at a location overlying the top opening;
• a pump module comprising:
• a housing defining a reservoir adapted to hold water and being sized for insertion into the inner compartment through the top opening;
• a pump contained in the housing and being interconnectable with the basin for pumping water from the reservoir to the basin;
• and
• a power cord having a first end interconnected with the pump and a second terminating in a male electrical plug;
• and
• an overflow port positioned at a height corresponding to the desired maximum water level, the overflow port being interconnectable with the water reservoir to recirculate water from the basin to the reservoir.
