Some other things to consider as a bird lover.
There are many other items that you can get, as a bird lover, for your home or yard. One of the things if you have an indoor bird as a pet, is a heated bird perch. This is a perch that you put in to the bird’s cage that provides a warm and stable place for the bird all year long. Air conditioning and cold drafts can effect certain types of birds and this can be the answer.
If you do get a bird bath or already have one, you should be aware of the proper way for bird bath cleaning. Some people have problems with algae growing in their bath and depending on who you ask about this, there are many different opinions. Some recommend an algae inhibitor, some say clean it with a bleach solution and rinse it really well, some even suggest throwing a penny in the water. If you decide to use a bleach solution, make sure that you rinse this out completely, before adding water again. You can buy bird bath cleaners at some home improvement stores also.
There are several accessories that you can buy for your bird bath also, like a mister or dripper. These will bring running water to your bath, which will attract more birds and keep them there longer. These can sometimes even attract birds that are flying overhead that normally wouldn’t notice the bird bath.
