Was totally against heated bird baths until our first hard freeze
We had that cold snap last January here in Ohio, temps dropped to 9 degrees. I always thought heated bird baths were an unnecessary expense, like why not just put out fresh water every morning? But my neighbor kept hers going and I watched chickadees and cardinals lining up at her place while mine was a solid block of ice for 3 days straight. Broke down and got a thermostatically controlled one from Tractor Supply for about 40 bucks. Now I feel bad for all those winters the birds had to deal with frozen water. Anyone else change their mind on a birding product after seeing it work in person?
