Nature Lovers: Bird Bath or Bird Feeder, or both?

Answer 1

Both. I love birds. We get a bunch of different birds like sparrows, doves, Scrub jays, Mockingbirds, etc. I have a clay bird bath that's about a foot in diameter and about 3-4 inches tall. The birds love it. I sprinkle seed outside in certain places where the grass has stopped growing.

Answer 2

Both. IF you are only going to do one put up a bird bath. A lot of folks with feeders don't do this and the water is very important. You'll have a lot of enjoyment out of both though.

Answer 3

I'd say both. With the bird bath, get an old can or plastic bottle (you can make it prettier if you want) and put a small nail hole in the bottom. Hang the bottle above a saucer to catch the water in the bottom. That way, it's kindof like a shower for the birds.

My mom has a bird book, and I read in it that birds like that.

If you want it to look pro, you can buy something like it at Home Depot or Lowe's I'm sure :)

Answer 4

Both! I would put a Bird Bath in my back yard so I can see them anytime at my house and a Bird Feeder on my front porch.

Answer 5

I prefer Bird Feeders because the Bird Baths water gets dirty often and if you clean it regularly things like mosquitoes infest it. Also Bird Feeders attract other animals like squirrels so you can have all sorts of wildlife in your back yard! :)

Answer 6

I'd get both!

Birds also appreciate a dust bath in hot weather!

Answer 7

Tweety Bird.

Answer 8

i think both because birds like to eat and play n the water just like humans

Answer 9

Both...birds are so much fun to watch...my only problem is the crows...they wont leave my feeders alone.

Answer 10

both. let the little birdies eat then bathe. unless u have bears. then i would just go with the bird bath.
