Types Of Bird BathsHanging Bird BathA hanging bird bath is ideal for keeping birds safe from neighborhood cats, squirrels and other potential predators. Birds prefer shallow pools of water and this is typically found in just about any hanging bird bath. They are easier to clean and maintain regularly, providing your feathered friends with cool, clear water for bathing and drinking. Birds are at a disadvantage when they are wet from a recent bathing and are unable to fly well. Place a hanging bird bath in a tree with sparse branches to give them a clear view of their surroundings. Pedestal Bird BathCreate a beautiful centerpiece in your garden with a pedestal bird bath. Birds love color and flowers are a great way to attract them to your yard. Pedestal bird baths are the most common and are considered to be a more traditional design. Styles range from simple to extravagant and choosing one can be quite daunting. Remember that safety is very important if you want to have regular visitors to your yard. Position your pedestal bird bath at least 5 feet away from hiding places such as bushes or shrubs and keep birds safe from danger. A pedestal bird bath will get lots of use, especially if the water is dripping, splashing, or moving.
Deck Mount Bird BathA rail or deck mount bird bath is perfect for bird lovers who lack the space for a larger model or just want to bring the birds closer to their backyard sanctuary. They come in heated and non-heated styles and often have a more shallow bowl which birds prefer. Place your deck mount bird bath close to a window and enjoy the relaxing sounds and playful nature of birds year-round from the comfort of your own home. Solar Bird BathHarness the power of the sun with a solar bird bath and provide your feathered friends with crisp, clear water all year round. When placed in a bright, sunny area during the spring and summer the solar panel collects power for the pump and keeps the water moving and circulating. A solar bird bath can be a beautiful and useful addition to your home garden. Bird Bath FountainA bird bath fountain can dramatically enhance the beauty of any landscaping project. It creates a relaxing atmosphere and attracts birds to the soft sounds of water constantly flowing. A bird bath fountain with several tiers allows many birds to bathe, drink and play at the same time. This can be an absolutely wonderful sight to behold. The cascading water and perching areas provided by a bird bath fountain create a safe and relaxing haven for birds of all kinds. Ground Bird BathOne of the great things about a ground bird bath is that it can be placed anywhere in your yard and, if desired, can blend right into your landscape. They come in many different styles and finishes, can be heated or non-heated, and are impervious to heat or cold, providing years of enjoyment for all types of birds. To create a more natural setting choose a ground bird bath designed to resemble a rock formation or one that includes a waterfall. Just have fun with it. You won't be disappointed and neither will the birds that visit your yard.
