Why Install a Bird Bath?
Many people enjoy the sight and sound of birds in the garden – the color, movement, and song they provide adds life to a garden and can be very restful, evoking a peaceful, rural atmosphere. One of the best ways to attract birds to a garden is by adding a bird bath to your garden. Bird baths do not take up much room, and can be fairly cheaply bought, and very cheaply and simply made for oneself. Birds always need to drink and wash, and by providing a good bird bath you can often gain a loyal following of birds who will visit your garden throughout the year. Bird baths bring a whole host of benefits to a garden – not only do they provide a vital amenity for the birds, but they help your garden, encouraging visiting birds to interact with and extend the miniature ecosystem of your garden by feeding and washing themselves – they may also feed from your soil and plants, helping to keep a natural balance of worms and insects.
