There’s nothing like a plastic birdbath to add interest and birds to your garden. You will attract many different species since all birds can’t resist a good bath! Just like anything else, however, proper care and setup are critical for your success.

People who like to watch birds will enjoy seeing the many birds which will come for a pleasant bath in their backyard bird bath. So, the ideal placement for a plastic birdbath is in an area where you’ll be able to view it from a window. It’s a good idea to place your bird bath on some kind of stand or hang it from a tree to make it difficult for predators to reach - if birds don’t feel safe, they are unlikely to use the bird bath.

Frequent water changes, every few days and even every day in hot weather, is important for your bird bath. You want to make sure the water stays free of mold as well as insects like misquotes. If you install a fountain in your birdbath this will help with both as it keeps the water running. Running or dripping water is also very attractive to wild birds so you might see even more birds in your garden with a fountain in your birdbath!
