Hampden Don’t Let Your Bird Bath Freeze This Winter

If you live in the Hampden area and own a bird bath, don’t let it freeze this winter. With temperatures dropping and ice forming, your bird bath may crack from the expanding and shrinking. Plus a frozen bird bath makes it hard for birds to drink. With outside water freezing over, many birds are searching for water. This means they are expanding the energy needed for food and warmth. It takes a huge amount of energy for a bird to eat snow or ice.

The Bird Store and More in the Hampden area carries various types of heated bird baths. Heated baths cycle on and off keeping the water at an average of 35 degrees. The heated baths are not constantly running, so they use little electrical utility. They maintain just enough heat to keep ice from forming in the bath.
