Do you put out food or water for the wild birds?

I keep a saucer on a plant stand filled up with water for the sparrows that live in the purple martin house next door. I forgot this morning and looked out the window to see a sparrow staring in at me trying to make eye contact....took out a jug of water and filled it up and they all took turns taking a bath...now it needs a refill.🐤🐤

There are cats roaming around here but the sparrows seem to watch out for them, and now the mockingbirds are fighting the cats away from the yard, they post guard on top of the roofs of the houses and watch and wait to attack. The worst bird-catchers around here are falcons, have seen them take down robins, one crashed into my window as I was sitting here, went out and found the falcon with the robin on the ground and he saw me and flew up over the neighbor's fence with the robin.
