Invite more birds to your back yard

Bird Bath Fountains offer a perfect opportunity to create an area of the yard that can become a wildlife oasis. A great way to attract wild birds to the yard is to install a bath, which they will use to drink, play in, and bath in. It is often found that birds are quite cautious by nature, which means that when you install the fountain it might take a little time before the birds start to frequent it on a regular occurrence.
 
Positioning and safety aspects

It is often the case that fresh, clean water is in a limited supply throughout the dry, hot weather and a bird fountain often attracts a wide range of animal species, with some being quite harmful to the birds. If you give the location some thought it is often possible to create a haven for the birds which is completely safe and will have them returning to feed throughout the seasons. 


  Energy source

If you are looking to install self-contained bird bath fountains, then you might want to look at those that are designed to run on solar power. A highly efficient solar powered bath is designed to catch energy from the sun's heat in the miniature solar cells that it contains which is then stored and converted into energy. This energy is required to control the power pump which is essential to keep the water moving and the water fresh and clean. Besides being eco-friendly, the Solar Fountains also offer a lot more flexibility in the placement of the bird bath as it is necessary to rely on an external electrical power source.

Water Heating

If you live in an area that tends to have very code climates then you might wish to look at the viability of installing an electrical heater which ensures that the water is kept flowing, but doesn't heat the water to a temperature that isn't undesirable to the birds.
