mosaic on plastic bird bath

Thousand Oaks, CA(Zone 10a)

Hi, I've been keeping this old ugly bird bath for ages as I had nothing to replace it with. The bowl is rather flimsy, meaning if I put a hand on each side of it and I can bend it, slightly. So I'm not sure it is strong enough for grout and etc. It also has a round raised area in middle, originally from K-Mart for 10 bucks or so... that's how old it is! I found this site, and was wondering if I could mosaic it. If so 1) what do I use for grout, and 2) what do I seal it with that will not hurt the birds? Oh yea, I thinking of smashing up a bunch of plates to use. Thanks for any help/guidance/suggestions....my mind is a total blank.

The mosaics I've seen on this site are just fantastic. You are all a very talented, creative group. The mirror lady was awesome, I would never have thought of that - or even tried it for that matter!
