Heated Bird Bath

Providing a heated bird bath is one of the easiest ways to attract birds to your garden. It will bring greater variety of birds to your yard. Having a bird feeder is great but it will attract species based on the kind of foods you provide, a bird bath, on the other hand, will attract just about every species type.

The ideal bird bath water depth is no more than three inches, so buy your bird bath accordingly. Commercially-made bird baths are often deeper than they should be. If your bird bath is too deep, you can still use it by putting stones into it to lessen the depth.

If you want even more birds in your garden try to add a fountain to your bird bath. Birds have the tendency to get attracted towards the sound of falling or dripping water.

Make sure that the bird bath you purchase has a non-slip substance on the bottom so that birds using it won’t slip.

Change the water in your heated bird bath frequently which may be daily in hot weather and is very important.

It’s a good idea to place your bird bath on some kind of stand or hang it from a tree to make it difficult for predators to reach – if birds don’t feel safe, they are unlikely to use the bird bath.

People who like to watch birds will enjoy seeing the many birds which will come for a pleasant bath in their backyard bird bath. Place your bird bath near a window where you’ll be able to sit comfortably and watch the birds.

Follow the guidelines listed above, and you’ll be able to enjoy many hours of watching birds playing in your own heated bird bath.
