What should I look for when purchasing a bird bath?
Whether you choose a concrete bird bath or a stone bird bath, choose one that’s the size for local bird species in your area. Consider the height and width of the bird bath. Ideally, you’d want the water to be no deeper than 1-inch at the edge. Plus, bird baths are easy to clean and maintain, so you can spend more time enjoying your backyard décor.

Are bird baths good for wild birds?
All birds require freshwater, while a bird bath can also provide a space to clean their feathers. Some birds prefer baths lower to the ground, mimicking how they find water in nature. The illusion of moving water will attract more birds than bird baths with still water in a basin.
How can I keep other animals out of my bird bath?
Where you place your bird feeder will have a lot to do with what animals could try taking a peek. Putting your bird bath at a higher level, away from other animals, is one option for keeping your birds safe while they’re visiting your yard. Another option is to keep a smaller saucer at the base of your bird bath will help keep animals from trying to jump up.
