Birding Problems - Problems at the Bird BathBirding Problems - Problems at the Bird Bath


Water attracts more bird species than any bird feeder or bird house. Bird baths
can become bird problems when they're too deep (small birds can drown in
three inches of water) or dirty (birds drink, bathe and defecate at a
bath).

Hose out the bath daily and wash it with hot, soapy water at least once
a week. Add liquid bleach to the soapy water to help kill algae and
bacteria.

Winter is the most important time to offer water. There's no easy way to
keep water from freezing. Contrary to some reports in the popular media,
glycerin and antifreeze will kill birds.

The only way to keep water from freezing is to add an electric water
warmer.

Be careful with electricity and water. Use a UL (Underwriters
Laboratory) listed warmer, and connect your appliance to a GFIC
(ground-fault interrupt circuit) outdoor socket.
