Add Mosaic Bird Bath for a Fresh Water Source

Clean Feathers Fly Better!

Wild birds require a consistent fresh water source (year round) to properly preen feathers for optimal flight conditions.  Some bird baths are actually too deep for birds to bathe and wade comfortably. The maximum depth of bath water should be no more than 3 inches.  The mosaic bird bath above, is shallow and perfect for feathered friends to drink and bathe.  If your bath has a deeper center, consider placing a large rock in it so birds can perch.

In warmer weather, water tends to stay cooler and fresher longer if the bath is placed in the shade. In freezing winter months, place baths in full sun if possible.  Mosaic, ceramic, copper, and glass birdbaths also have the capacity to hold a birdbath heater during frigid weather, a life saver for many birds during tough winter months.
