Bird Bath Tips

Birds prefer a bath that is not slick as they don't like to loose their footing. Cement are a good choice. If you already have a slick you can try adding small river rocks, although this will make it more difficult to clean.

Water Wiggler For Bird Bath

The depth of the water should be no more than three inches at the center of them. If you already have a deep bath, again, you can try adding the river rocks to raise the depth.

Bird Bath Water Pump

Add a drip and the birds will flock! You'll increase your variety of birds with a drip system. For example, hummingbirds will swoop in for a bath on the fly, view also hummingbird food sugar water ratio. They would not typically visit your non-drip, as they only bathe during flight. Installing a spray system will do the trick if you're interested in this method.

Just remember to place out in the open, away from shrubs where predators could be hiding. Treat yourself and put the bird bath in front of your breakfast room so you can sip your coffee in the morning and be entertained by your delightful new visitors. If you decide to have your bath in a garden, possibly your butterfly garden, be sure to place it around low growing plants and flowers, to avoid the predator problem, view plants for sparrows and other birds .

As often as you remember, change the water to keep it fresh! I change my water daily during the hot summer months and then every other day year round.

Save yourself a headache and separate your feeding and bathing area. Our flutter friends are messy eaters and tend to scatter seed from the feeders. If these areas are too close, the seed will have you changing water much more than you really want to!

Bird Bath Cleaner

Keep it clean!

A regular cleaning schedule will make cleaning your bird bath easier. Follow these steps to clean:

Tip your bird bath to the side to empty the water.

Rinse the bath our with a strong spray from the hose.

With a small amount of water and stiff scrubbing brush, loosen the grime from the bottom.

For the stubborn algae that will not come loose, pour a bleach solution of 3/4 cup bleach to 1 gallon of water and scrub again.

Rinse the bath thoroughly, and then rinse again.

Re-fill with fresh water.
