Stone Bird Baths For Any Bird Bath Plans


Add Beauty And Serenity To Any Garden Or Patio

A bird bath is essentially a dish of water that needs to be functional - the aesthetic aspects are there to please us, not the birds. A good bird bath has a simple, sturdy construction, but is light enough to make it easy to clean and refill. It needs to have shallow sloping sides with a shallow approach to water. To allow different species to bathe, provide a sloping bath, so the water is between 2.5 cm and 10 cm (1-4 inches) deep. Make sure the surface of the bath is rough so birds can grip it with their claws and not slip. The simplest bird bath is a large dish. A plant saucer with textured finish and a stone in the middle is the easiest. Birdbath gardens are an elegant way to invite a little bit of nature into your backyard as well as providing nature's little helpers with a nice cool bath.
