Want to enjoy a wider variety of birds? Don't forget the water!
We have a line of great birdbaths with a 150 watt built in heater. These are available as a deck mount, which attaches to a 2X4 or 2X6 deck railing, bringing the birds up close for viewing. One of these is an EZ Tilt that makes it extremely easy to fill and clean the bath. They are also available in pedestals if you don?t have a deck railing.
You can add a deicer to a birdbath you already have. These are small submersible electrical units that are designed to keep the water above freezing, keeping your birdbath ice free. They are economical and safe. Our most popular is Allied?s 250 watt deicer. It?s a heavy duty birdbath heater that will keep the water thawed through our northeast Kansas winters. Allied also has a couple 95 watt heaters that are flat or can be used in a bath with a center statue. We also carry the Nelson Gulfstream, 200 watts. When using an external heater, make sure to use a bath that will not crack with the freezing and thawing. Manufacturers of concrete, ceramic or clay advise not to use them in the winter months. If your power goes out in a storm and you lose electricity, your bath could crack or break. Metal or plastic are good options in colder months and can easily accommodate a deicer. We have customers frequently ask about solar heated baths. At this point in time there are no good solar heating solutions. If you have a cloudy day a solar will not keep the bath thawed. It will freeze at night. Solar products that store with a back up battery are not cost effective. We keep our eye out at shows for new products and will let you know as soon as a good solar alternative is available.
All of our deicers and our birdbaths with built in heaters are thermostatically controlled, so they are only on when they need to be. Water will never become warm but will stay above freezing. Make sure your bath is in an area of your yard with close proximity to a grounded (three prong plug type) outlet. Many people run an extension cord, it is best to use a short (25ft) compared to longer extension cord. (50ft+) If you don?t have an outdoor option, use an outlet in the garage and run the cord under the garage door.
One of our favorite products is our birdbath brushes. These are great heavy duty brushes wheather your needing it for heavy scrubbing with a cement bath or lightly cleaning a smooth plastic bath. Having the right tool makes any job easy. We also carry the Care Free Enzymes product line of cleaners for baths, feeders or houses. Start with a clean birdbath and use a capful of Birdbath Protector to prevent organic contaminants from forming like mineral deposits and algae. It?s non toxic, all natural, safe for birds and wildlife.
