Birdbaths

Another way to accent or beautify your garden is with birdbaths. These ornamental basins allow winged visitors a place to gather and drink from or to bathe in while enjoying other aspects of your garden area. What bird could resist a beautiful place set up especially with them in mind!

Most baths are easy to care for. Simply clearing them out, wiping them down and refilling them on a regular basis is usually enough. Some of the concrete ones may become a bit mossy and can be slippery for bird feet. These will require a bit of regular scrubbing to remove and keep the moss cleaned out.

If possible, setting one up near a low hanging tree would be a great way to give the birds have a safe place to jump to if they feel a need. Try to avoid setting it up near shrubs where a cat or other predator might hide waiting to make a meal of your winged visitors.

You can provide a bath for your feathered friends in almost any style or variety of material you want. There are copper and solar baths, ceramic, metal, concrete or plastic ones. You can choose a pedestal, hanging or deck mounted type, a heated or solar bath. There are even sundial and fountain baths if you prefer.
