Birdfeeders

Birdbaths are popular all year long as birds learn you have an always dependable water source. Even migrating birds might notice other birds at your birdbath and stop for a visit. Winter is also a popular time for birdbaths in cold areas. When all natural water sources turn to solid ice, your open water will draw lots of visitors. In these climates, it is well worth buying a de-icer to be sure your birdbath doesn’t freeze. Of course, keeping it clean and filled with fresh water is a must. Open water during winter is unusual in many areas, so a wide variety of birds will gather to drink from an ice-free birdbath. De-icers feature a built-in thermostat. Even on the coldest days, they will keep drinking water within the optimal drinking range for wild birds. A stainless steel guard is provided to shield wildlife from contacting the heating element. De-icers only come on when the temperature drops below35 degrees so over a winter, they are very inexpensive to run and offer a necessary oasis of open water to local birds.
