Bird Baths and Water Products
Most birds find a clean reliable source of water essential for life. This is one thing all birds share a common need for drinking. They need it drinking and for bathing. Baths promote preening and oiling feathers which keeps them in tip top shape, greatly increasing the survival of the bird. From the smallest hummingbird to large hawks, water attracts birds as well as food. With the appropriate shelter, food and water, birds are more frequent visitors to your yard, and reside and nest nearby.
All of our bird baths and water products are field tested. We advocate providing shallow water for birds and making sure the water is fresh and clean. For those reasons, almost all our baths are no more than 1 and 1/2 inches deep. Any deeper and the perching birds that cannot swim will not be able to use them. Our baths can be equipped with specialized water products - misters, drippers and “Water Wigglers” - to activate and keep the water fresh. Still standing water promotes mosquito and bacterial growth, neither of which is desirable.
Porous materials; like concrete, mortar, marble dust conglomerates, are hard materials but difficult to keep clean, algae free and free of unwanted microorganisms. We offer baths that are made of nonporous and algae resistant metal, polypropylene (plastic), glazed ceramic, resin or glass. These materials are easily cleaned and disinfected or sterilized to provide safe clean water for the birds. |

Water Products |
These devices are not only practical and functional; they also provide pure enjoyment at your bath or feeding station. Action is the key. Activated water is more attractive to birds.

Erva produces its Universal Dripper at its Chicago facility. As its name states, this dripper will fit any birdbath.

Birds find activated water is much more attractive, welcoming and exciting for most bird species. No electricity is needed – it operates on the least amount of water pressure. It includes: a stainless steel drip tube and bath hook, a drip control valve, 50’ of durable ¼” PVC UV resistant tubing, a tap “Y” valve, a screen filter that protects the valve, and a 3 year manufacturer’s warranty.

 Songbird Spa Easy Mister
Have you ever seen a hummingbird bathe in the mist from your hose while you are watering your garden? Hummers and other birds are attracted by a fine mist. We set one up in a small tree outside our dining room window. Hummers, wrens, finches, woodpeckers, thrashers, goldfinches, gnatcatchers, towhees and more hang out in the cool mist all summer long. Attached directly to a garden hose set to low pressure, the water use is small, the birds are relieved of the summer’s heat and we are very happy to see them up close. Be sure to protect any mister from freezing in the winter.
$19.99 (Item #73)

 Junior Mister
Misting simulates a gentle rain shower and is best when used to wet leaves of a small tree or shrub which you can easily view. Water mists from the nozzle and drips from the wet leaves. If you place a birdbath under the tree or shrub, dripping water creates the ripples that birds find so intriguing. Junior mister includes: 25’ of 1/4“ vinyl tubing, garden hose or faucet adaptor, mister nozzle and three reusable Velcro straps.
