Birds need water in winter

Robins need water in winterWater sources in winter are a wonderful way to attract a variety of birds, such as the American Robin, that don’t normally visit feeders. They provide a reliable source of water for bathing and drinking. Bathing is especially important in cold weather in order to keep feathers in top condition. Research has shown that a chickadee with well-maintained feathers can sustain a 70 degree layer of insulation between the outside air and its skin.

We offer a wonderful selection of heated birdbaths and heaters to keep your feathered friends coming to your backyard all winter long! Many will keep an area ice-free in temperatures down to -20 degrees F!
Our durable plastic birdbaths in 14- or 20-inch diameter dishes contain heating units and automatic thermostats. This means the heaters work only when the temperature drops. WBU Birdbath HeaterAdjustable hardware allows you to mount them on virtually any birdbath pedestal or on your deck railing so you can watch the birds enjoy a winter bath up close.

The WBU Birdbath Heater can make any birdbath in your yard a heated one. Place the heater in any birdbath and plug into a nearby outlet. The de-icer keeps an area free of ice while the stainless steel guard shields wildlife from the heating element.
