Everyone loves watching birds accommodate themselves in their very own bird bath. It’s like saying to the birds, “Come and enjoy my hospitality! Bring your friends, enjoy a seed or two!” With this quaint and provincial bird bath, you’d have a permanent resident gracefully perched on the edge, its beak about to take a sip of water. Its antique appearance gives it an other-worldly feel. It would be a romantic and lovely addition to any garden or room! Its smaller size is just right for fairies and pixies so let your imagination roam with this darling antique piece. Here’s some info on bird baths, to make sure you have the most accommodating bath available. The water should be no deeper than 3 inches, and have sloping sides, like this one does. The undulating edge not only looks like a lily-pad but it serves as sure footing for the birds. You should place it near a tree where birds tend to perch so they can have a chance to sit and preen after bathing. Why not provide a delicious seed snack along with the bath? Place a squirrel-free bird feeder along beside your attractive bird bath and you’ll have regular visitors each day. Did you know that different seeds attract different kinds of birds? The best and most common seed are black-oil sunflower seeds which are healthy and easy to open. It would attract cardinals, finches, juncos, sparrows, chickadees, and occasionally woodpeckers. Different finches such as the gold finch are attracted to the thistle seed which is high in oil and very small.
