Is everyone adjusted to Daylight Saving Time yet?! The extra hour of daylight at the end of the day allows many of us the opportunity to enjoy backyard birds a little longer into the evening.

Water Everywhere

Birds Need Water

Providing a clean supply of water to backyard birds is essential to their health. Birds use water for drinking and bathing. I've even caught a Grackle or two dunking their peanut pieces in the water before eating them. Cleaning and refilling birdbaths at the end of the day gives Owls the opportunity to drink and bathe as well!

Offer a continuous supply of fresh water with the Birdbath and Waterer. Holds an amazing 100-ounces of water in a reservoir that fills four smaller reservoirs. Hang by the attached hook or mount on a 4x4 post.

The Droll Yankees Water Dish placed on top of a Flower Garden Pole adds a handsome water feature to any backyard. Heavy-duty plastic basin is an attractive pale blue color. Generous 13" diameter offers more birds the opportunity to drink and bathe at the same time. Water Dish can also be placed on the ground!

Keep birdbaths clean the easy way with the use of All-Natural water cleaners. Keep scrubbing to a minimum!

• BirdBath Protector: Carefree BirdBath Protector contains natural enzymes. Safely breaks down organic contaminants: sludge, water-lines and organic stains caused by birds and the environment. Add one (1) capful to water and mix thoroughly.



• Birdbath Water Cleaner: Birdbath Water Cleaner uses a proprietary blend of naturally occurring beneficial bacteria and enzymes. This proprietary formula keeps your fountain or birdbath clean and clear by breaking down organic waste and reducing nutrients, thus improving the water quality, which results in a healthier water feature.

Spring is around the corner!

It's time to think about Birdhouses! Putting up new houses now will provide ample time for birds to get used to the new structure in their environment. Birds like to investigate multiple locations before choosing where to raise their family.

When choosing a new birdhouse keep these things in mind:

• Find out which birds in your area will likely take up residence in a man-made birdhouse.
• Choose a house that is correct for the species you are trying to accommodate: Dimensions of the house and entry hole size are crucial for success.
• Place the house in a suitable location. Proper height above the ground and facing away from prevailing winds is important.
