Add Bird Baths…for So Many Reasons!
Forget the old, cumbersome concrete baths of yesterday! They tend to crack over time, they’re harder to clean, and they weigh a ton!Today, bird baths can be works of art for your yard. Unique yard decor in vibrant colors and durable materials, that hold up well and are much easier to clean. Plus they’re the absolute best bird attractors.
More than pretty yard pieces, bird baths are the best way to attract more songbirds. Many who don’t bother with houses or feeders will visit bird baths. In fact, a fresh water source is the number one way to attract birds. The key is in keeping the water fresh for feathered friends. Every few days should be sufficient for cleanings.
Whether a pedestal, hanging, or deck-mounted bath, pick one that you know will be easy to maintain, as it will benefit birds and your viewing experience. Another factor is knowing if you’ll need a bird bath heater during cold months, as a bird’s need for fresh water is not seasonal…it’s year-round.

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.
