Choose a shaded area to prevent algae growth and overheating, ensuring birds feel safe and comfortable while bathing.
Place the bird bath near a water source like a sprinkler or pond to attract a wider variety of bird species to your garden.
Keep the bird bath close to trees or shrubs for perching spots, providing birds with easy access to preen and dry their feathers.
Ensure the bird bath is visible from your home for easy bird watching enjoyment, while also keeping it away from predators like cats.
Add a dripper or mister to create movement and sound, attracting birds with the illusion of a fresh, flowing water source.
Regularly clean and refill the bird bath with fresh water to maintain hygiene and keep birds coming back for more refreshing baths.
