The Water In My Birdbath...

is completely frozen!!!







I tried putting my finger through the ice thinking it was probably just on the surface but noooooooooo. The water is frozen all the way through. This is also a fountain that runs on solar power so I unplugged that. I don't want to see little ice cubes coming out of the spigot on the top!

Not sure what part of the country you live in, so would this be unusual for your region? We're very much in the frozen tundra where I live.

For those that look after the little feathered creatures, do you put out fresh water everyday in the winter?

The low temp this morning was around 28. I'm in central Florida, half way between Orlando and Tampa. This is way too cold for this area.

I got the bb on sale at Lowes last summer. The regular price was around $110 and I got it for $50! It's made out of some type of cement I think. It's hard to the touch but not real heavy if that makes any sense. I love it and it's the first anything I've ever owned that is solar powered.

That's why we have heated birdbaths for our birdies!

You bet! They attract more birds than the feeders do.

Here's a little tutorial: Heated Bird Bath Bird Bath Heaters

Ok, I never even thought about birds DRINKING from a birdbath. DUH!

Then it makes sense to have a heated birdbath.

But I admit my first mental picture was of a steaming hot bird bath with birds sitting around in it like a hot tub, kinda like the Mini-wheats guys in the cereal bowl of hot milk, lol!
