Place the bird bath near trees or shrubs for cover. Ensure it's visible from a distance and close to a water source. Avoid placing it too close to bird feeders.
Position the bird bath in a quiet area away from high traffic or loud noises. Birds prefer a peaceful environment to bathe and drink water.
Keep the bird bath elevated to prevent predators from easily accessing it. A height of 2-3 feet is ideal to offer birds a safe spot to relax and refresh.
Add rocks or branches to the bird bath to provide perching spots for birds. These additions also help birds feel secure while using the bath.
Regularly clean and refill the bird bath with fresh water to attract more birds. Stagnant water can deter birds, so ensure it's clean and inviting.
Monitor bird activity around the bird bath and adjust its positioning if needed. Experiment with different locations to find the spot that attracts the most birds.
