Mosaic Bird Baths
Colorful, whimsical and totally functional, mosaic bird baths are a great choice when considering pedestal type birdbath.
They have the ability to hold a bath heater during winter, giving you a year-round birdbath. Ceramic tile also helps keep water cooler in hot summer months.
You can entice more birds in your yard with a fresh water source. Some birds who do not use birdhouses or visit feeders will frequent a bird bath. See a greater variety of wild birds with the addition of a birdbath.

Use a Heated Bird Bath-Sans the Electricty
To get more bang for your buck, heated birdbaths make sense!
A heated bird bath affords year-round use, especially in crucial winter months when water sources for wild birds tend to become scarce and freeze up. Simply by unplugging the cord and tucking it away, you have a bath for spring, summer, and fall seasons too.
The ground birdbath pictured above is heated and features a copper dripper. I’ve had one of these in my yard for about 7 or 8 years now, and it’s still going strong!
By adding moving water to your bird bath through the use of drippers, misters, or bubblers, you can attract even more wild birds. Those who may not visit bird feeders will flock to a fresh water source, and the dripping motion, or spirals from a water wiggler act like a magnet for songbirds. You’ll see a greater variety of wild birds with a fresh water source in your yard, so make it available year-round for your feathered friends.

Heated Bird Baths in Summer?
We don’t usually think of it, but buying “off season” is known to save money. With some of the larger companies, many winter biding items go on sale during summer to make room for new products. If you’re a backyard birding enthusiast, this is a perfect time to invest in higher end wild bird accessories.
Even though it’s summer, heated bird baths can still be used and enjoyed by many birds and their hosts…sans electricity. Just tuck the cord away and you now have a birdbath for year-round use.
