Birdfeeders

Birds are easily attracted to fresh clean water. During most of the year, maintaining a bird bath is easy. Empty the bird bath daily, remove any debris, scrub if necessary (I use a wire brush and rarely have to scrub more than once a week) and refill. In the cold of the winter, it can be a bigger problem. If you are in an area with freezing temperatures, use a heater that is specially designed for bird baths (pictured is a popular model). They are safe for the birds and use very little electricity. Your feathered friends will really appreciate the constant source of water. Do not ever add antifreeze or anything else to keep the water from freezing. These chemicals are toxic and will certainly kill any birds who drink it.
