 in warmer regions. But the few I have return reliably every spring, and we are old and good friends.
It’s truly spring and I hope you’re busy in your garden. Thanks for visiting me at Making a Garden, and I’ll see you next week.
Beverly,I have made a number of birdbaths cheaply from logs (3-4ft long x 18nches seems ideal) and large plastic rounds trays that go under the plastic pots(looks like terra cotta). Mine are about 18" in diameter.I set up the log level (sometimes into the ground a bit), set the plastic round tray on top. Weight it down inside the tray with some 1 inch thick x 3-4 inches in diameter flat rocks. You'll need to fill it every day. I purchased a cheap,solar powered, submersable pump from Princess Auto for $10 and set it off to the side. The water gurgles all day and the birds have a blast in these 'baths' I have all over. I thoroughly enjoy watching them while i wander the garden each morning with my coffee. They look very natural in my yard. I even have a bird 'grotto'! You can use ANYTHING for the base. Look around your house, yard, basement, garage and if there are lots of garage sales in your neighbourhood, look there. Use anything that appeals to YOU.Good Luck and enjoy your birds.
How clever! And you can thank that ugly pipe for making your garden a nurturing retreat for birds. Such a lot of pleasure from what started out as an eye sore!
I frequent the Goodwill and Salvation Army stores looking for "birdbath bowls." Large shallow bowls work very well, and I usually put some stones in the bottom for the birds to stand on. The bowl sits on top of frame made of plastic trellis material. The frame hides an ugly pipe to our septic system (about 3 feet tall). We surrounded the trellis stand with a circle of pavers and planted a variety of bulbs and perennials. The birds love it, and so do I since that ugly pipe is history.
It's my belief that there can never be too many birdbaths! I often make temporary baths where I notice bird activity, particularly near to nesting sites. I construct them by turning terracotta pots upside down for a pedestal, often putting two or three pots on top of each other to bring up the height. Then I use a terracotta saucer (the kind meant to go under the pots if they were planted) as the bowl, filling it with water and setting it on top. I try to find a saucer that's eight or 10 inches wide, to allow more than one bird to bathe at the same time. Some of the saucers are glazed on the inside, and those will hold water longest, although those without glazing will work just fine. Birds seem to like landing on the terracotta, and the depth is just right. A birdbath like this can be set into a garden bed, or on a deck or patio, and really looks natural and attractive. Please try it, and I'm sure your birds will be lining up for the bath!
Hello Ms. Adam, I'm really not quite sure what I did to receive this e-mail, but I am so pleased with the information!!
Do you have any suggestions as to how to make homemade birdbaths, as I really can't afford the expensive concrete ones. I feed birds all year long, and other than a small bath, mostly used for water consumption, I would love to place more around home, providing I can make them. Can you help me?? Many thanks….. We left Luxor as the sun was setting so the rest of the day was spent taking photos and videos. The scenery along the Nile was gorgeous. I went back and forth focusing my camera between the setting sun’s reflection on the water and the mountains. Its reflection gave the mountains a salmon-colored hue. The contrasting colors of the dry desert mountain and the lush riverbank lined with date palm trees was a breathtaking sight - a sce01773 scores the same as the Lincoln, MA average of 94.
