Attract Everyone with Water!

All birds need water! While bird feeders attract a good variety of birds they don't attract everyone, WATER DOES!  Birds that don't visit bird feeders such as Cedar Waxwings and Western Tanagers will visit water features in your yard. Entice them to visit your yard by providing water fountains or bird baths. It's also lots of fun! Enjoy the show as birds splash and play or simply stop by for a quick drink or dip. 

The key is to keep the water fresh and preferably moving. While resident birds tend to know where local water sources are, moving water gets the attention of those birds passing through the area. 

Water is also important for helping birds to maintain their feathers and regulate body temperature.

Be sure to include this fun, but very important, feature in your yard.

 

 FOUNTAINS

Fountains, with their moving water attract a great variety of birds. We have seen a great variety of birds utilizing water fountains including Hummingbirds, Orioles, Scrub Jays, bluebirds, and Goldfinches. Our aim here to offer fountains that are shallow and have areas where birds can cling to the sides to comfortably drink and bathe. 

Electric pumps are included with all fountains and colors will vary. 

BIRDBATHS

While moving water is ideal any water is welcome.  

Please call or visit our store to see our birdbaths and fountains as styles and availablility will vary throughout the year.

Birdbath and Fountain Maintenance

Don't forget to keep your bird baths and fountains clean and free of debris, algae and mosquitoes. 

For birdbaths without moving water it is suggested to dump out and refresh the water at least once a week to stop mosquitoes from using it to  breed. 

 

                                  

 

 Both Fountec and Algecide are safe for birds when used in birdbaths and fountains when used as directed.
