Definitely Try Moving Water in Your Bird Bath
Moving water in a bird bath is where it’s at!Bird baths really are the best way to attract more birds. If you’re fairly new to the wonderful hobby of backyard birding, maybe a feeder or two graces your yard now. You know it’s great when a new bird visits, and the simple fun of watching their behavior.
By adding a bird bath, a great oasis has begun for your fathered friends. A fresh water source is a must for all bird species. Birds who may never stop at a feeder, or use a birdhouse will visit a bird bath.
In order for birds to bathe and wade comfortably, the optimal depth is about two inches. If the bath is deeper, try placing a large rock in the center for birds to perch.
Accessories like solar bath fountains, drippers, and water wigglers are a super way to liven up existing baths too. The sight and sound of moving water is a magnet for birds, they’ll flock to the bath! Moving water tends to stay cleaner for longer periods too. The other excellent advantage of moving water is that it thwarts mosquito population. Huh? It’s a known fact that mosquitoes can not lay eggs in moving water, so there’s no worries of standing water to act as breeding ground for the tiny pests.

Solstice Hopper Bird Feeder
When one thinks of a hopper bird feeder, the image is usually that of wood. Maybe a nice cedar, that lasts until pesky squirrels start to chew it up. New bird feeders come in great materials that are meant to last for many years of use and enjoyment. Not to mention really fun, high style designs.This hopper bird feeder is appropriately called the “Solstice”. With it’s fantastic celestial theme, it’s totally functional, holding about 5 quarts of seed. The satin finish metal roof and trim are actually better than wood because they are not porous. This type of feeder is less likely to aid in the spread of germs and mold among the bird population feeding in the yard. Cleaning is much easier too as opposed to wood.
Keep this one thought in mind for your next feeder purchase…non-porous materials are actually healthier for your birds.
