Adding A solar bird bath is an easy way to bring more birds into your garden. It will bring a wide variety of species to your yard. Bird baths are great for about all species of birds, while feeders are only effective for the birds that are attracted by the bird feed.

You should purchase a bird bath that is no deeper than three inches. Commercially-made bird baths are often deeper than they should be. There’s no need to buy a new bird bath if the one you have is too deep, because you can fix the problem by adding stones in the bottom of the bird bath.

If you really want to go the extra mile in attracting birds into your garden with your bird bath you should consider adding a fountain. The sound of falling or dripping water is a great attraction for birds.

A birdbath with a non-slip bottom is best, because it is possible for birds to lose their footing on slippery surfaces.

Change the water in your solar 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.

By installing a bird bath in your back yard, both you and the birds will be able to enjoy many pleasant hours. Placing your bird bath near a window will allow you to view the birds from the comfort of your own home.

Enjoy your birds!
