Yayyyy!
...............Pam? When someone "scrubs" their bird bath should they be using any sort of cleaner or bleach or anything, or should they be using plain water only?

I would love to have a bird bath and some feeders too but since I don't own this property it would just be another thing I would have to move if I ever get my own piece of property. Great tips Pam!

Hey, I want an outside bath.



Cute but every time I try to do something nice for wildlife, it's bites me back. DH and I have a nice bird feeder and we kept it filled until we realized the mice were stealing the food and storing it in our motor home

How about soap for a nice bubble bath

Great tip, but I don't want the birds flocking to my back yard. I like to watch them in my neighbors bird bath though...

I had an outside bath one time, I used the garden hose, and my neighbors didn't like that, so they called the police department and I was arrested for indecent exposure..

Great tip, PJ! They do flock to a bird bath and I love to see birds enjoying a bath. Can't have one at this time since I'm in a condo but sure had one in Dallas and even had the stones added. Cats liked to watch from the windows with lots of kitty chattering. The water wiggler is an excellent idea. Maybe in a few more months I'll be a bird bath provider once again!

What happened to the bird's head in the pic?
I didn't know birds could move their heads so fast until there is only a blur.
