Bird bath fountains add a Victorian element to any yard and the birds will thank you for it. In winter, it is more difficult for birds and other wildlife to find water to drink that is not frozen solid, so adding a birdbath heater will keep them happy and full of song. Fountains for birds are constructed in all shapes and sizes, and some will include heating systems. Still, although there are some solar heaters available, they are expensive, so in colder climates electric heat is the best value for the money. One solar birdbath fountain is the Litchfield. It is made of durable resin to withstand the harshest winter and the pump is included. Simply situate it in a sunny area and the water will circulate naturally via the pump. » Read more: Heated and Solar Bird Bath Fountains
