heated bird baths, in April, in Georgia?
Usually by April spring has already sprung here in North Georgia, but 2013 is quite the contrary. This should be the scene, when heated bird baths are removed for storage and birdbath drippers take their place. Not so – not yet anyway 🙁Yesterday morning when I went out to feed the birds (a daily ritual)… my hands were actually numb! Wet, windy and downright freezing cold, birds were puffed up like little balls, trapping air pockets between feathers to stay warm. It’s really tough on the insect-eating birds because there’s no insects yet! Migrations are under way, but landscapes are not very accommodating at this point. What was it- like 15 inches of snow in IL last week…. uuggh, it’s enough of winter already, hummingbird feeders went up last week for Pete’s sake! They just don’t go with heated bird baths.
Later that day a friend told me it was a record-breaking temperature, the highest
low temp for GA on record since the 1880’s. Well today was beautiful, with projections in the 70’s and 80’s for the next few weeks. Maybe it’s a sign that spring is finally here to stay? Let’s hope so! And if it’s not, this birdie may be heading further south real soon! -
Make Birds’ Holidays Happy with a Solar Hanging Bird Bath!
Want to find that really special gift for the nature fanatic on your list? Look no further than this solar hanging bird bath. Because fresh water in the landscape is the best way to attract birds, if that water happens to move it’s even better! Like a visual magnet, birds are drawn to moving water, even the ones who may not visit feeders, or use nest boxes. Baths are relatively easy to care for, and don’t cost money to fill like feeders.
They’re great for small spaces, even on the deck, patio, or porch. There’s lots of installation options too, with innovative deck brackets, hooks and hangers. The no-rust, copper bronze finish is nice, and this hanging bird bath is plenty deep enough to accommodate a heater in winter.For something a little more artsy, there’s a killer handcrafted, weatherproof stoneware hanging bath. In vibrant tangerine or raspberry blue, it’s sure to punch up any spot in the garden.
And if you think bird baths need to be large to lure birds… think again! This past summer we had birds actually drinking from ant moats – despite the nine birdbaths scattered around the yard!
For a very economical (so practical yet still attractive) choice, check out this stained glass & copper mini-hanging bath/feeder. It comes in six fun designs, and the pretty glass dish is perfect for offering a variety of treats; from seed mixes, suet and
nuggets, to peanuts, and fruit in summer, even mealworms if one’s so inclined! And of course plain old fresh water will absolutely entice feathered friends!This one’s already on sale, and with the super secret, special holiday promo code, you can nab an additional 10% off.
