There are numerous bird bath designs to pick from, but a few of the more common and adaptable options.

Ceramic Pedestal Birdbaths

When you think of a birdbath, you usually think of one with a pedestal. It has a smooth glazed-ceramic surface that’s easy to clean and a 17-inch diameter bowl that gives birds plenty of room to splash and drink.

To invite smaller birds to bathe, place a few tiny stones or a layer of sand or gravel at the bottom of the basin to provide firm footing and make birds feel safer when bathing.

Although you can leave the birdbath outside when the weather cools down, if you’re in a colder area, below freezing during the winter, it’s best to store the birdbath until the weather heats up again.

Floating Birdbaths

If you hang the birdbath from a branch, a shepherd’s hook, or a hook hammered into a patio cover, and you’ll see birds flock to it. It has a durable, easy-to-clean plastic bowl in the center of a cedar platform, providing a perch for visiting birds to drink or dry off after a bath.

Your feathered companions will be able to wash safely and comfortably in the basin, which is shallow enough for even little birds. The cedar platform is long-lasting, resistant to insect damage and rust, and will weather to a soft gray over time. The chain measures 21.5 inches in length and is zinc coated to prevent rust.

You do not require a birdbath simply because you do not have a garden as long as your outdoor space has railings that are no thicker than two inches. Because the mounting bracket and support ring are composed of cast iron, they will not rust after years of exposure to the weather. The bowl is made of sturdy polypropylene and is easily removable for cleaning.

Large birds cannot bathe in the basin because it is too small — it is just about a foot in diameter — but they may stop by for a drink.

Heated Birdbaths

Birds need water to drink and wash all year, but getting fresh water can be difficult in the winter. A heated birdbath does not heat the water in the basin; rather, it prevents freezing when the weather turns cold. And when you’re a bird in the winter, and you need a place to drink and bathe, that’s a big deal.

The pedestal-style bird bath contains a small heater that turns on automatically when temperatures rise over 32 degrees and is built of cedar to withstand all types of weather without rotting or warping. It also has a heavy-duty plastic bowl that will not shatter in cold temperatures.

You’ll need to position the birdbath near an electrical outlet to operate the heater. Because the bird bath’s chord is just around a foot long, you’ll almost probably need to utilize an outside extension cord as well. The birdbath comes with two stakes to secure it to the ground.
