Putting in A solar bird bath will increase the number of birds in your yard. By installing a bird bath, you will attract more birds as well as different species of birds. A bird bath will attract just about every species of bird, while a bird feeder only attracts the type of bird that eats the food provided.

The best type of bird baths are shallow ones, maximum depth no greater than three inches. A bird bath you purchase in a store may be too deep. If you already have a bird bath and you find that it’s too deep, you can make it shallower by putting in some stones.

You can do even more to attract birds in your garden by adding fountain to your bird bath. The sound of falling or dripping water is a great attraction for birds.

If you’re like most people, you don’t realize that birds can lose their footing, but you can help them by having a bird bath with a non-slip bottom.

Water changes are important in your solar bird bath and should be done frequently, or even daily during hot weather.

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.

If you’re an ardent bird watcher, it won’t just be for the bird’s comfort that you install a bird bath in your garden, you’ll also be doing it for your own pleasure. With that end in mind, you should ensure that you place the bird bath somewhere that allows you to view it from a place of comfort through your window.

Be good to your birds!
