Bring an Ordinary Hanging Bird Bath to Life with Solar
July can be a scorcher for wildlife, especially with recent droughts and above-average temperatures. Natural water sources like puddles, creeks and shallow pools all but disappear during summer heat. Adding fresh water to the garden may prove to be a life saver for birds and other animals whose habitat continues to shrink. Something as simple as a plant saucer filled with water will see winged visitors happily partaking in the essential life source.
Adding bath accessories like leaf misters, water wigglers, or this solar bubbler can bring a pedestal or hanging bird bath to life! Circulating water stays fresher longer and acts as a magnet for birds! They’re totally attracted by the visual of moving water, and the soothing sounds can be a welcomed addition to human ears as well.
No need for the whole set-up either, these battery or solar powered accessories are a la carte! Some even operate from the outdoor spigot. Add them to your existing bath for a whole new dimension in birding. Hummingbirds are especially fond of birdbath fountains, while butterflies covet the gentle spray of leaf misters. Songbirds around our place actually sit and wait for the drppers to start each morning, it’s looks like a bird spa!
Consider one of many “moving water” accessories this summer and see which new visitors show up at your place. Especially during spring and fall migrations, you may be quite surprised!

Get big impact in a small space with a hanging bird bath
Even the smallest yard can yield colorful wild bird activity… and without ever filling a feeder. Water is the simplest way to attract birds, and moving water really grabs their attention! A simple plant saucer filled with water will see lots of activity, provided the water stays fresh. For the deck, patio or apartment balcony, various brackets and hooks will accommodate hanging baths or feeders.This solar hanging bird bath is the perfect option for enticing feathered friends to just about any space. The only caveat is the fountain must be in full sun for the panel to operate. Since there are no cords or wires, energy is not stored – but real time so to speak. Not only song birds, but butterflies and hummingbirds also adore moving water, and are drawn to it like a magnet.
If you’re new the backyard birding thing… think water! Any shallow pan or bowl will do, but not too deep. An optimal depth for birds to bathe and wade comfortably is about two to three inches. If the water is any deeper, consider placing a large rock in the center for birds to land and perch. Texture helps too, as birds are able to get better footing on something that’s not too slick.
Just keep the water fresh and watch… because if you build it they will come!

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.
