I've always loved teacups and so when i saw them made up as bird-feeders and bird-bath in one....i just had to have one!! There are lots of these online, but this is the best tutorial i found.
I had the pole and the fixture just lying in the shed, dying for a purpose so i simply stuck the fixture on the bottom of the saucer with super-glue, then perched the teacup on the saucer and glued in place...then placed a cheap teaspoon (6 for 99p - score!) on the saucer, sticking out making a little perch for the bird to stand on!
Then just filled the cup with water for bathing-birdies, filled the saucer with oats and lentils (note to self...buy real bird food!!) and perched it on the pole!
I'm not around much of the day but if i manage to get a snap of a little bird availing of the bath or buffet i will upload it here!!

Looks like a yellow tulip has perched on your spoon! Can't wait for the birdies to investigate. xox
