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.
