A solar bird bath can accomplish a lot more than you think.
It's one of those handy items that allows you to do several things with one minor purchase.
Here are 5 things a sun powered birdbath can offer you:
1. A great way to attract birds to your yard
2. Peaceful water fountain sounds
3. A beautiful lawn ornament
4. Less mosquitoes since you won't have standing water
5. Free time since you won't have to do any wiring
Going with a solar birdbath fountain has the same advantages of other solar yard additions.
The main advantage is that you can place the bird bath anywhere you want (as long as it's a sunny spot) and not have to worry about new wiring or extension cords.
Also, you can run the bird bath all day for months and not pay an extra cent on your electric bill.
The convenience and lowering of electrical costs makes purchasing this solar gadget a win-win situation.
Let's take a look at a few frequently asked questions:
How does it work?
A solar panel powers a low voltage water pump that recycles water from a hidden reservoir in the fountain.
How does it look?
Pretty much however you want it to look. There are an incredible amount of styles available. This includes classy looking copper bird baths as well as ones made of a very durable resin.
How do you take care of it?
Assembly is pretty simple and once you set it in a sunny spot all you have to do is keep your bird bath clean.
One warning: In the winter the solar panel and pump must be stored in a dry, frost-proof environment. Some of the bird baths come with a winterizing plate that can replace the panel and pump for year round use.
One more warning: Don't ever run the pump with no water in the bird bath or you could do permanent damage.
A solar bird bath looks great, is easy to set up, won't raise your electric bill, and will keep your bird friends happy.
