Heated Bird Baths for Year Round Use
One of the most effective ways to attract more birds is with fresh water!
Get more wild birds flocking to your yard with fresh water. The necessity for this resource each and every season is so important that you’re guaranteed to to see species that never even visit your bird feeders! Strategically placed, a good bird bath is an advantage to any backyard birder’s viewing experience, not to mention their feathered friends. Birds tend to bathe naturally close to the ground, but with predators lurking, a raised water source is a better choice. Also, a bath placed near trees or shrubs provides quick cover from raptors as well, birds tend to hop on a nearby branch to preen in higher safety.
A bath that sees freezing winter temperatures will be rendered useless with it’s shallow water unless a heater or deicer is used. Many birdbaths are available with concealed heaters for a neater, more streamlined look in your environment. Heated bird baths will provide a fresh water source year-round, allowing you to attract the most species, simply and economically. Instead of ten different feeders, try a bird bath or two, and enjoy the show!
