The history of bird baths includes: 
 
Origins
There are multiple theories about the origin of bird baths, but evidence suggests they were likely invented by ancient Mediterranean culture in the first century. 
 
Early bird baths
Early bird baths were small, modeled after Italian ornaments, and placed on pedestals or near the ground. They were made from a variety of materials, including marble, granite, sandstone, iron, lead, bronze, and aluminum. They were often decorated with birds, frogs, turtles, squirrels, and floral motifs. 
 
First purpose-built bird bath
The first purpose-built bird bath was developed in the 1830s by the UK garden design company Abrahm Pulman & Sons. 
 
Bird baths in modern times
Bird baths can be placed on balconies or rooftop terraces to support local ecosystems. They can add movement and color, and encourage nature into our space. 
 
Bird bath studies
The Bathing Birds Study, started in 2014, collected data from citizen scientists on bird bathing in Australia. The study found that bird baths are more than just ornamental pools, and that human choices can impact birds.
