Different Types Of Bird Baths
Donna Somerkin
Bird baths are an excellent way to attract wild birds of all
types into your yard. In addition to drawing your fine
feathered friends close, a bird bath can add a decorative touch
to any outdoor space. Available in all different shapes, sizes,
styles, and budgets, there is the perfect bird bath out there
for you!
When looking for a bird bath to occupy space in your yard or
garden, first consider the different types of baths on the
markets. These unique types of bird baths vary depending on
your area and the species of birds that you are trying to
attract. The most popular types of bird baths currently on the
market are:
• Pedestal: These types of bird baths are the most common the
market and are usually thought of as the traditional types of
bird baths. However, although the type of bath may be common,
the designs range from the traditional to the extraordinary.
Available in all shapes and sizes, pedestal bird baths can
anywhere from modest baths to outrageous sculptures that
function as great as they look.
• Heated: Although it may seem silly to heat water for your
local birds, this extra is important for those living in cold
weather. Instead of your bird bath freezing over when Old Man
Winter comes calling or having to repeatedly break the ice on
the surface of your bird bath, the heated models ensure the
water never freezes and is always available for the birds. The
heater uses minimal electricity or solar power to heat the
water and is perfectly safe to accommodate all of your flying
friends.
• Fountains: Birds love the sound of running water, so consider
choosing a bird bath that doubles as a fountain. In addition to
attracting birds, the beauty and relaxing found of the bird
bath fountain will add to any garden or yard. Furthermore,
these fountains are a good deal more attractive than a typical
bird bath, so the style may fit into that of your home or
outdoor space.
• Hanging: Perfect for those with limited yard space, choose a
hanging bird bath instead of a pedestal bath. These baths can
easily hang from an apartment balcony or your favorite tree to
provide a bit of enjoyment for all types of birds. Some bird
baths are convertible between hanging and standing bird baths,
so this option may be perfect for individuals wanting the most
options.
• Deck Mount: Another space saver, deck mounted bird baths are
excellent for homes short of yard space. Also, deck mounted
baths can be set up directly outside a window so that you can
enjoy the birds while in the comfort of your own home.
Furthermore, deck mounted styles are perfect for children, who
can enjoy the presence of your local birds up close and
personal.
