I am probably daft for even considering it, but I am thinking of
building a wooden bird bath to stand permanently in my garden. Can
anyone tell me if there is a glue out there that will stand being
constantly immersed in water and is there a finish that will waterproof
and preserve the timber without poisoning the birds or tainting the water?

While I have your attention any suggestions as to the timber?

I'm sure you can use a marine epoxy varnish--not cheap. I guess white
oak would work, but any plastic or concrete bird bath will outlast the
wood.
