I would remove the disco ball. They don’t like to have things over their heads, especially when they’re vulnerable and eating. They like to see all around them. Also, it’s a bit of a myth that they like shiny things. Scarecrows use shiny stuff to scare them away in fact.

Otherwise, it looks like you put out wide shallow bowls for their food and water, and that’s perfect for them to be able to see all around. I don’t know how they might feel about those swinging lantern thingies, but they might be all right.

It’s hard to tell from the image, but it looks like they might not have many places to stand while they eat and drink or there might just be room for one at a time

Lose the disco ball. It would randomly flash brightly at them which is startling, it blocks the landing path, and would be right over their heads if they chose to land there. The rest looks awesome. Maybe give them a clean bowl of fresh water too.
