Choose a shallow basin with a non-slippery surface to provide easy access for hummingbirds. Place it near flowers or trees for natural perches.
Change the water every 2-3 days to prevent mosquitoes from breeding. Use a brush to scrub the basin and keep it clean for the birds.
Add rocks or pebbles to the basin to provide landing spots and prevent drowning. Keep the water level shallow, around 1-2 inches deep.
Place the bird bath in a shaded area to prevent overheating in hot weather. Consider adding a mister or dripper for continuous fresh water.
Avoid using chemicals or soaps in the bird bath as they can be harmful to hummingbirds. Opt for natural cleaning methods like vinegar or baking soda.
Enjoy watching hummingbirds splash and bathe in the bird bath. Provide fresh water year-round to attract these delightful and colorful birds.
