A garden birdbath is a remarkable way of drawing wild birds into your garden. Just try to make sure that you place it on a quiet part of your garden as most birds like to bathe and drink on a nice and quiet place.
It is essential that a birdbath remains in the correct temperature and you can do this by attaching a heater to the unheated birdbath or you can choose to buy a birdbath that has a preinstalled heater.
A birdbath with a heater preinstalled uses a cord plugged into an electric outlet or solar panels to provide power to the heater. These birdbaths that are equipped with solar-powered heaters are easier to use as they need very little maintenance.
Birdbaths that have heaters are likely to last longer as compared to those unheated ones because the freezing and melting process of the water can cause cracks to the marble or concrete, unless the birdbath has been kept devoid of water during the winter seasons.
Putting a dripper on your birdbath not only helps in preventing mosquitoes from laying their eggs onto the water due to constant agitation but it also helps in attracting birds towards your birdbath. This dripper can be made by using a water container with a small hole underneath where water drips over the bowl of the birdbath.
You can also choose to buy readily made drippers. Some can come in complex and elaborate design. Birds prefer birdbaths with drippers because it likely gives them the feeling of raindrops falling over their feathers. Misters can be used for smaller birds such as hummingbirds. However, misters use much more water as compared to drippers.
There are two other ways of preventing mosquitoes from laying their eggs on your birdbath. You can use either a water wiggler or a mosquito dunk.
Water wigglers are battery operated and produce vibrations to create ripples on the surface of the water. This device is quiet and it will not frighten away the birds.
Mosquito dunks are pesticides that stop mosquitoes from breeding. They can be placed anywhere where water accumulates. They work differently from drippers and wigglers as they kill the larva instead of just preventing eggs from being laid.
