Solar Powered Birdbath

El Dorado Hills, CA(Zone 9a)

We just want to share this … We live in Zone 9a where we don't get much rain so providing water for our birds is important. Our problem was we couldn't easily get a line up to the corner in the yard where the feeders are. Then we saw a Solar Powered Fountain Birdbath in the Plow & Hearth catalog! We already had a birdbath, but the water was still and algae would quickly form. So we got their Solar Powered Tabletop Fountain, put it in the Birdbath, and voila`, we have bubbling water! Be aware there is no solar battery so when the sun light is gone so is the fountain. Anyway, we’re hopeful our bird will take to it.

Sounds like a great idea for those dry regions, let us know if the birds think so too.

I've seen those in catalogs - nice to hear they work! And good for you for going the extra mile to provide water for your feathered friends!
