Bird Bath Considerations
The single most
important feature in attracting birds to your backyard is the availability
of clean, preferably moving, water. In fact, studies have shown you will
attract 2-3x the frequency of bird visits to your backyard habitat by
including water:
-
The depth of the water is important, the best
variable depth is approximately 3 inches. If you are modifying a deeper
bowl or fountain you can secure a screen below the water line or build
up the base height by adding river rocks if you are careful to fill with
smaller pebbles so birds cannot get trapped.
-
Make sure that the water is not stagnant;
splashing or moving water is more appealing to the birds. Sprinklers and
misters serve a dual purpose in this regard, water for your birds and
your plants!
-
Hosing out the bath daily is optimum for
the health of your birds, as well as a good cleaning , we sell a product
specifically for this known as Bird Bath
Protector .
-
In winter, consider the use of an electric de-icer so that birds have access to clean,
ice-free water during this critical period. Advertised water additives
such as glycerin or small amounts of antifreeze are poisonous to birds.
