Bird Baths Add to the Beauty of the Back Yard

Bird baths are quite rare in suburban backyards these days. The bird baths can be quite expensive and require a little care to ensure no mosquitoes take up residence during the peak summer.

With a bird bath in the back yard, you can see the birds flying towards the edge of the bird bath and then splash in the water, they seem to be enjoying themselves. Especially in the summer heat, it helps them cool down and probably helps with their thirst.

The birds and the bird bath can help liven up a backyard.

There are many great things that can liven up the backyard, and some love to have things just to draw in birds. My mother has a large collection of bird feeders, and special feeders made just for hummingbirds.

She loves them, and they do tend to draw a larger number of birds to her yard so that she can enjoy them while they are there. She can sit in her windows for hours and watch them on some days, but she usually does not have the time.

One thing she talks about wanting is some new bird baths.
