Putting in a concrete bird bath in your garden is an easy way to bring more birds into your yard.  It will also bring a greater variety of birds to your yard than only having a bird feeder.  This is because all species love a fresh bath so you will get different kinds of birds than just those that are attracted to the type of seed you put out in your feeder.

Three inches should be the maximum depth of an ideal bird bath.  When buying a bird bath, make sure it is not too deep.   If you already have a bird bath and you find that it’s too deep, you can make it shallower by putting in some stones.  You can do even more to attract birds in your garden by adding fountain to your bird bath.   Birds love the sound of falling or dripping water.   Make sure that the bird bath you purchase has a non-slip substance on the bottom so that birds using it won’t slip.

You must remember to always keep the water in your concrete bird bath clean and this mean daily cleaning in hot weather.  A fountain can help alleviate some of this as it will keep the water from becoming stagnant and thus require less cleaning.

By installing a bird bath in your back yard, both you and the birds will be able to enjoy many pleasant hours. Therefore, you’ll want to find a place for your bird bath which will be easy for you to view from a window.   If predators cannot reach your bird bath, birds will be more secure and use it more and so put it on some kind of stand or even hang it from a tree.
