It is more fun to make your own bird houses, feeders and such. Some bird house can be made from gords. Cut a whole in the gord, empty the cavity and hang it from a tree limb. Some birds like to eat their feed from the ground. Others do prefer a raised platform from which to eat. Some that eat fruit, will eat it if it is suck on the end of a nail in a tree or placed on a raised platform, just a piece of flat wood on top of a post will do nicely with a raised edge to keep the stuff from rolling off the edge.
A bird bath can be a shallow depression in the ground filled with water, but the ground porosity can be a problem. The main problem with bird bathes is that they tend to become contaminated with crud and must be occasionally cleaned. Birds are not very hygenic.
