Birds Need Water All Year Heated Bird Baths

Heated Bird Bath - Provide A Bird Bath Heater This Winter

There's probably no better way to attract birds in winter than by adding Heated Bird Baths. Not only will more birds visit, but you'll get an even greater diversity of birds coming to your yard.

All bird lovers place feeders out for the birds in winter, and more experienced bird watchers offer more than one kind of seed. But very few understand the importance and results of adding a heated bird bath during winter.

Offering water is the single most important resource you can give birds in winter. If you've never offered a source of water during winter do so today. You'll be rewarded with a wide variety of birds throughout the cold winter months.

Learn what your options are.

This season, consider bird bath heaters

All-In-One
Heated Bird Bath

Birds need water both Summer and Winter. Much energy is wasted searching out open water sources in winter. By providing a heated water source, you'll not only be helping the birds, but you will also have a greater variety of birds to watch.

Not all birds will come to your feeders, but all birds need water. A heated bird bath will introduce you to birds you didn't know were in your backyard during winter.

You'll need a power source. Most newer homes have a GFCI installed on the outside of the house. These are those "plug ins" you use when using outside electrical tools. If your home doesn't have any, contact an electrician to install one. This is fairly inexpensive and no homeowner should be without one on the front and back of your home.

There are two ways to keep water opened for birds during winter. The first, simply add a bird bath heater/de-icer to your existing bath. If you already provide water for birds during summer, just add one of these units to your birdbath and plug it in.

The second way to provide water in winter, is with the complete heated bird bath. These are birdbaths sold as a complete unit with the heating element built into the bowl. (see top) Just set it next to your feeders, fill with water, and plug it in.

One of the nice things about the all-in-one unit is that you don't have to look for your heater when winter arrives. (Hopefully you're better organize then I am.)

These make perfect gifts for the bird lover. Most bird watchers have bird houses and bird feeders. Far too few have a heated bird bath. Once you've experienced attracting birds this way, you'll never want to be without one.
