Birdfeeders

In nature, puddles are the bird’s natural bird bath, so it stands to reason that the best bird baths imitate the dimensions of a puddle. Therefore, the best bird baths are round, have a flat bottom and gently sloping edges to a depth of no more than 3 inches. There are many options, including terra cotta flower pot saucers or glass pie plates, but there are many attractive options on the market. Although the natural location of a puddle is on the ground, birds will certainly find an elevated bird bath. There are a couple of advantages to having your bird baths up off the ground. First, it is safer for the birds to avoid stalking cats. Since wet birds don’t fly as well, be sure to locate the bird baths near the cover of trees or shrubs. Also, it is much easier to watch the birds in an elevated bird bath. Be sure to always keep these bird baths filled with clean fresh water.
