For birdwatchers of all ages, drawing birds to your backyard birdbath can be a gratifying experience and a fantastic opportunity to provide essential assistance for nearby bird populations.
If you want birds to visit your birdbath, location, cleanliness, and design are crucial considerations, according to American Bird Conservancy Senior Conservation Scientist David Wiedenfeld.
The process of "bathing" a bird involves wetting its feathers and then preening them to ensure that they are healthy and lie correctly. Naturally, birds also use birdbaths as a source of water, particularly in the summer or during extremely dry or hot conditions.
