We’re all used to putting food out for garden birds throughout the year, but water is still often overlooked. However it is every bit as important as feeding, if not more so. Bird baths help our wildlife by making sure that a refreshing drink is always available for them when they need it.

Carefully designed

Effective bird baths feature a textured internal surface, allowing birds and other wildlife to safely enter and exit. This design prevents slipping and provides secure footing. For a versatile option that caters to various creatures, consider a stepped wildlife water drinker. These multi-level baths accommodate different sizes of birds and even insects, offering a safe drinking spot for diverse garden visitors.

Bird baths with Ark Wildlife

Bird baths can be placed on bird tables or on the ground, providing a valuable source of water. Take into account the size of the birds in your garden bird baths should be large enough for birds to spread their wings for a proper wash but shallow enough to allow them to stand in the middle.

A safe space to bathe

Position the bird bath or drinking dish so that birds and wildlife have a clear view all round to keep an eye out for predators.

Do pennies prevent algae in bird baths?

Placing pennies in a bird bath is often believed to help prevent algae growth due to the copper they contain. Ensure that they are dated pre 1982 as the copper content after was reduced. Copper has natural antimicrobial properties, which can inhibit the growth of algae and other harmful organisms in the water. However, while copper may help to reduce algae growth to some extent, it’s not a fool proof solution. Regular cleaning of the bird bath and changing the water frequently are the best ways to keep it free of algae and safe for birds.

What time of day do birds use bird baths?

Birds use bird baths throughout the day however mostly in the early morning and late afternoon. These are cooler times of day when they’re more likely to bathe or drink. During these hours, birds are more active, so this is also a good time to enjoy bird watching.

Why do birds use bird baths?

Birds use bird baths to drink, wash, and cool off. Using bird baths helps them clean their feathers, which are important to maintain as they provide important insulation and allow them to fly. By placing a bird bath in your garden, birds also get access to a reliable water source, helping them during dry spells when natural water may be harder to find.

How deep should bird baths be?

Bird baths should be around 2 to 3 inches deep at the centre. This depth is ideal for most birds, allowing them to bathe and drink from the water comfortably without risk.

How do you stop bird baths from freezing?

To help keep your bird bath from freezing, try placing it in a sunny spot to keep the water in the bath warmer for longer. You can also try floating a ping pong ball or tennis ball on the surface, which can help to break up any ice forming on the surface. Another option is Ice-Free which can help keep water liquid down to temperatures of -4° and is totally safe for wildlife.
