We love to watch our Bird Baths during the Winter Weather

The cold winter weather of February here in Pennsylvania, brought large number of birds to our backyard sanctuary. My family and I like to watch our feathered friends splash around in the warm water as the thermometer showed it was below freezing outside. Many birds such as Goldfinches, Juncos, Robins, Cardinals, Thrushes, and other song birds really enjoyed our heated Bird Bath.

Bird baths are not only charming in a well kept yard, they also provide a clean area for birds to bathe and drink. A heated bird bath opens up a whole new valuable tool to attract birds and will thrill your fellow bird lovers and watchers alike.

Contrary to the old saying that birds fly south for the winter, many birds stay around in most areas almost all year long, including the winter months. During the winter months and, water can become very scarce. Heated birdbaths play an important role in our feathered friends’ lives. Not only do birds like to bathe during the winter months, they also enjoy having a place where fresh water is available.

Of course, the birdbaths also attract some unwanted creatures as well. Grackles and starlings will chase smaller birds away from your birdbath. We keep a feeder, that large birds prefer, far away from the birdbath in hopes the large birds will let the smaller birds alone while they take pleasure in the heated bird bath.

The birds seem to really love our heated bird bath. They will actually make it a point to visit our backyard probably because our birdbath is the only one around in the area that has fresh water they can drink and splash around in. It almost seems like the heated bird bath attracts more birds than the bird feeders we have placed near the birdbath.
