Bird Baths and Bird Accessories

Attract birds to your garden or yard

As you know I am a keen birdwatcher and where better to watch (in comfort) than my own garden? Feeding birds is only one part of the equation when it comes to getting birds to visit your garden – they need water too. I added a bird bath to my garden last year – actually it was one I made in pottery class – but I have had endless fun watching the birds come to it.

Birds need water to drink – obviously and it is important all the year round. But they also need water for bathing. Despite what you might think they need to keep those feathers in top condition – and waterproof – with preening and bathing. Both release oils that keep the feathers healthy.

If you have even watched a sparrow have a field day washing in a puddle or a woodpecker daintily take a drink – imagine how much pleasure you will find seeing them in your own space and you can do that easily by adding one or two bird baths. You don’t even have to have a huge garden or yard – there are plenty you can attach to a guard-rail on a porch or balcony for example.

Choose freestanding, stake, hanging, attached

It always nice to have choices and you certainly have plenty here. Above I’ve shown you some free standing birdbaths and these do provide excellent focal points in the garden as well as being functional.

You might also want to consider stake bird baths – you know, the kind that consist of a bowl attached to a ground stake you can place anywhere on your lawn. The advantage of these are they are easy to set up and to move, if you feel so inclined.

The other alternative is hanging ones that you can suspend from your balcony or patio roof or from a tree or bush. If you do set them in a tree it lifts the smaller birds above predator height and gives them the added security of cover if they want to escape.

Finally you have a selection that attach to a rail or something similar.

These two are slightly more expensive than the one illustrated above but they seem to be very popular buys. Just read the customer reviews to see that.
