Birdbath Landscaping Tips:

For birds bathing and drinking also a great ornamental for your birdscape.

*Water depth:1-2 inches deep, no deeper than 3 inches
*rough surface so they don't slip
*put in a open area - so cats can't surprise them. 2 feet of open space is good.
*A place to perch, a small tree/bush.
*keep the water clean.
*Splashing water attracts birds, so a fountain or spray would be great if you can.

If algae is a problem on the bottom of your birdbath. Try this: 3/4 cup of non-scented bleach with a gallon of water. Scrub with a stiff brush. You may have to repeat one more time. pour some solution into basin, and let sit for an hour with a board on top.(we do not want birds visiting when we use solution) Remember to wear gloves while cleaning as bleach may irritate skin.
