Solar Bird Baths

Solar bird baths are a great alternative to standard electric bird baths or the simple you-fill, standing water bird baths. They save electricity which is good for the environment and your wallet and provide clean, running water that attracts more birds. Below are some favorite bird baths and fountains among bird watchers.

The only disadvantages of a solar vs. an electric powered bath or fountain is that it requires direct sunlight (maybe those in Seattle should consider other options!) and may not be as powerful, however it is less noisy, more peaceful and for those reasons is preferred.

Advantages of Solar Bird Baths:

• Uses the sun's energy instead of electricity - Ecofriendly and saves money
• No extension cords or outlets needed - not limited to placement
• No wiring, no operating costs, simply install, add water and enjoy!

We like BirdBaths.com (from photo above) because they specialize in bird baths, have a huge in-stock inventory of fountains to choose from, customer service is top rate, they have a no-hassle return policy and many of their items include free shipping if not very low priced shipping i.e, $4.99. Not bad considering the weight and how hard it would to transport yourself if you were able to find that perfect bird bath locally and in stock. Save some gas and your precious time. Try them out!

Here are additional solar bird baths that customers were very pleased with also:

How does a solar bird bath work? A solar powered panel that either is placed inside the basin of the bird bath or a panel that lays just outside the baths collects solar energy from the sun during the day. That energy will power the pump to keep the bird bath water circulated. Some solar powered bird baths can be damaged by cold weather, so during the winter months you may need to remove the solar insert and/or use it in conjuction with a heater that keeps the water and unit warm.

Bird Bath Heater - Keep your bird baths ice-free during the winter.
