I wouldn't worry about it now, you can always add things later (though you will probably have to remove the birds to redo the flight. I think that will be fine for 2 Strawberries. Are you planning to breed?

With the water/bath dish, you may find that they foul it pretty quickly, between bathing and pooping.

I'm not planning to start breeding yet. My strawberries are pretty young. I am lucky to have a bird store nearby that will buy the young, so I may be brave in the future. Lol. I'll switch to a small water bottle for drinking in the meantime. Thanks a lot for your advice.

If it is a water bottle like is used for small mammals like hamsters, make sure the birds know how to use it. They can get dehydrated quickly with water right in front of them if they don't know how to use the bottle.

Will do and I'm not taking away the bird bath, so they will always have fresh water

maybe a well chosen branch low down to allow free flight?
