A birdbath, mister or water garden can be both beneficial to "your" birds and enhance the look of your yard, deck or patio. Keep in mind its safety first, for both you and the birds. Sound and water flow are good attractants so use misters and drippers when possible.

Keep the water fresh and clean. Stagnant and fouled water can present a health hazard for the birds.

Baths without a water source will require refilling and cleaning on a regular basis. Enzymes and water clarifiers are available to keep the baths clean and sparkling.

Some baths are available with a filter and re-circulation system or can be connected directly to a water hydrant. These systems require more initial set up time but are easier to maintain and require less time in the long run.

Keep your safety in mind when installing pumps and other electrical equipment. Use an electrical outlet with GFCI protection for all outdoor electrical requirements. If your home is not so equipped, a local electrician can install one for you. We offer a GFCI equipped socket for your convenience or you can acquire one from your local hardware store.
