There are many different options available in order to have a water feature in your backyard!
You can start with a simple plastic dish, add a solar pump, a dripper or just have a mister!
Birdbaths!
Available in several different material choices: glazed clay, glass, metal, plastic or resin.
They can be as simple as a plastic dish, and as complex as a solar powered fountain.
What we carry in store:
Burley Clay Products (glazed clay)!
We carry Bird Bath tops and pedestals. They come with an adhesive that attaches the two pieces together to avoid any unwanted damages.
Erva Products
A solid metal ring with a plastic dish inside. Available as a deck clamp, hanging style, can wrap around a 1 inch metal pole or can be mounted on top of a pole.
Bird Baths can be for ALL SEASONS not just the summer!
We have several different types that can be used for those -30C days!
1. Heated pedestal and top (combo), you can also get them as separate pieces.
2. Heated deck mount/clamp birdbath which attaches to most deck railings.
3. Insert a separate heater into an existing birdbath (metal or plastic only! All others will crack!)
There are several different heater/de-icer designs to choose from. They can appear like a rock (more natural look) or are made with metal. They range from 50 Watts to 250 Watts in power.
Great for ponds and ground birdbaths!
Note: It is rare for birds to ‘freeze‘ in the winter due to open water. Most birds (local ones) that stick around for the winter are used to it and will shake off the water. Also, bird feathers are made quite differently than fur/hair and does not tend to freeze the same way. Their feet are also covered in scales and will not freeze to the edge of the birdbath or your metal fence!
