Birdbath Basics: 5 Types of Watering Holes for Your Garden

December 20, 2024

Our colleague Marie Viljoen’s post last month, Help Birds in the Winter: 12 Tips for Food, Lodging, and Bird Safety, was a good reminder that not all birds migrate in the colder months and that those who stick around all year long need our support all year long, too—and perhaps even more so in the winter. If you don’t already have a bird feeder for your garden, check out our 10 Easy Pieces: Modern Bird Feeders post; and if you’re in need of a simple birdbath, the easiest thing to do is to set out a shallow tray (a repurposed saucer for pots works great).
