A bird bath comprising:
- a coupling portion configured to be coupled to a water reservoir and a basin portion configured to have fluid communication with the coupling portion, wherein the coupling portion is configured to couple with the reservoir in one of an operating position and a refilling position, wherein water is shutoff from the reservoir when the reservoir is set in the refilling position, and wherein the basin portion is sized to accommodate at least one bird;
- and
- a support portion located beneath one or both of the coupling portion and the basin portion, wherein the support portion comprises a sleeve configured to receive a mounting post, wherein a first end of the sleeve is connected to a bottom surface of the coupling portion and a second end of the sleeve is configured to touch a surface on which the support portion rests.
A bird bath for coupling with a water reservoir, comprising:
- a coupling portion configured to couple with the water reservoir containing water, wherein the coupling portion is configured to couple with the reservoir in one of an operating position and a refilling position, wherein water is shutoff from the reservoir when the reservoir is set in the refilling position;
- a basin portion in fluid communication with the coupling portion;
- and
- a support portion located beneath one or both of the coupling portion and the basin portion, wherein the support portion comprises a sleeve configured to receive a mounting post, wherein a first end of the sleeve is connected to a bottom surface of the coupling portion and a second end of the sleeve is configured to touch a surface on which the support portion rests.

A bird bath comprising:
- a reservoir configured to contain water;
- and
- a base configured to couple with the reservoir, the base includes at least a first basin and a second basin, wherein each of the first basin and the second basin is configured to receive water from the reservoir but not from the other basin, wherein the base comprises a support portion, the support portion comprises a sleeve configured to receive a mounting post, wherein a first end of the sleeve is connected to a bottom surface of the base and a second end of the sleeve is configured to touch a surface on which the support portion rests, wherein the base comprises a coupling portion configured to couple with the reservoir in one of an operating position and a refilling position, wherein water is shutoff from the reservoir when the reservoir is set in the refilling position.
An apparatus for attracting birds, comprising:
- a reservoir configured to contain water, wherein the reservoir comprises a first mating unit;
- a base comprising a coupling portion and a basin portion, the coupling portion comprises a second mating unit configured to couple with the reservoir in one of an operating position and a refilling position;
- and
- a support portion located beneath one or both of the coupling portion and the basin portion, wherein the support portion comprises a sleeve configured to receive a mounting post, wherein a first end of the sleeve is connected to a bottom surface of the coupling portion and a second end of the sleeve is configured to touch a surface on which the support portion rests,
- wherein water flows from the reservoir to the basin portion to maintain a predetermined water level in the basin portion when the reservoir is set in the operating position,
- wherein water is shutoff from the reservoir when the reservoir is set in the refilling position.
