Birds Love Visiting These Modern Birdbath Features
By NICOLE MOORE
Running Water
Since running water attracts birds, adding a dripper tube that constantly releases water is a must. Consider buying the five-star Brass Leaves Solar Bubbler for $189.
Per reviews, birds love using the water spray to take a shower and play in the bath. One even noted that it’s “so popular that the birds are actually fighting for access to it.”
Partial Coverings
Birds love to revisit environments that are safe from the sun or predators. Partially covered birdbaths, like the Wooden Rustic Barrel Fountain, help provide this.
Heating
Birdbaths with a heater are an absolute must for those living in cold regions. It's essential that birds can bathe even in winter to keep their wings fluffy for insulation.
Costing $159.95, the All-Seasons Heated Deck Mount Bath has received 5 stars, with many reviewers sharing they have had their bath for up to 10 years and it's still going strong.
Feeders
Several bird species enjoy baths with attached feeders, such as the Ashman Deluxe Feeding Station that features four feeding spots perfect for attracting various birds.
Planters
It is no secret that birds love flowers, so adding them to your bath is sure to entice the creatures. Combine a bath, feeder, and planter with the Resin 3-in-1 Birdbath.
Alternatively, the Bird Bath with Flower Planter Pedestal costs $29.49 and provides a lovely base planter for flowers such as amaranths, marigolds, and sunflowers that birds adore.
