Birdbath Feast

Turn your backyard birdbath into a bountiful feast. Fly-bys will flock to eat and they'll be sure to linger.


Keep the birdbath filled this winter. Stock it with wild birdseed mix, seed corn-on-the-cob chunks, rosehips, dried sunflowers, and branches of bittersweet. Or stock it with water; tuck in a birdbath heater, and provide birds with an unfrozen drink that's essential to their survival.


Note:

If you choose to use your birdbath for its traditional purpose during winter, rather than turning it into a feeder, it's easy enough to feed birds. Use a platform-type feeder to offer mixed seed for a variety of feathered friends, including finches, cardinals, jays, grosbeaks, and doves.

just picked up my mother's birdbath as is precious to me because she passed in 04. got it home and leaked, but set it up where it needs to be. I'd rather do this pic than water. Got another for water. Thanks. j
