Preening refers to self-grooming. Much like a cat, birds go through a self-bathing process to remove dust and parasites from their feathers. Since most birds preen throughout the day to keep themselves clean, your bird baths provide a much-needed respite for our aviary friends.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re not sure what type of bird bath to invest in, you\u2019ve come to the right place!

This simple birdbath<\/span> model is essentially a basin of water resting on the ground. Usually a circular or oval shape, this style mimics water sources in nature, such as lakes and ponds, which have no elevation. Some benefits of this type of bird bath are its lack of complexity (you could easily create a ground bird bath from an unused ceramic plate), its ease of<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> portability, and no chance of damage. Plus, the low elevation is perfect for larger birds like quail, grouse, or ducks. However, keep in mind that ground bird baths are more risky for predators and more susceptible to leaf litter. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hanging-bird-bath\">Hanging Bird Bath<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/habranthus-_gOjgJdSdqs-unsplash-1024x564.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/habranthus-_gOjgJdSdqs-unsplash-1024x564.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/habranthus-_gOjgJdSdqs-unsplash-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/habranthus-_gOjgJdSdqs-unsplash-768x423.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/habranthus-_gOjgJdSdqs-unsplash-1536x846.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/habranthus-_gOjgJdSdqs-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@habranthus?utm_content=creditCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=unsplash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Habranthus<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/a-bird-feeder-with-a-bird-on-top-of-it-_gOjgJdSdqs?utm_content=creditCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=unsplash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the most elevated bird bath option at your lake house, a hanging bird bath is ideal. Essentially, this is a shallow basin hanging from a chord or chain, typically attached to a pole or tree branch. Because this type of bird bath is the smallest, its water capacity is limited, and the design options are fewer. You\u2019ll also want to be mindful of higher winds, which can cause these small baths to fall. Despite these considerations, there are several advantages to hanging bird feeders. For small birds, this type of bath is the safest because the height protects them from predators. They\u2019re also simple to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.birdsandblooms.com\/backyard-projects\/diy-bird-bath\/diy-hanging-birdbath\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DIY with saucers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pedestal-bird-bath\">Pedestal Bird Bath<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mygardenlife-1024x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16955\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mygardenlife-1024x533.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mygardenlife-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mygardenlife-768x399.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mygardenlife-1536x799.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mygardenlife.jpg 1596w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygardenlife.com\/garden-plus\/top-5-tips-maintaining-a-bird-bath\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MyGardenLife<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you picture a bird bath, a pedestal bird bath is likely what comes to mind. By far, these are the most popular,<\/span> and as a result, there are tons of available designs. Usually made from ceramic, granite, or plastic, the downside of pedestal bird baths is their bulkiness and the difficulty of cleaning.<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> However, the benefits outweigh the costs. For one, their taller height prevents squirrels from climbing and interfering with the birds\u2019 safety. Aesthetically, they blend seamlessly into an elegant garden look.

So, during this time of year, they\u2019ll be searching for lukewarm water for drinking and preening. To help them out in these cold times, consider investing in a heated bird bath, especially during the upcoming season. Contrary to what you may expect, a heated bird bath does not actually produce hot water. Instead, it keeps the water at a temperature warm enough to avoid freezing. In the winter, a heated bird bath will be especially helpful when most birds\u2019 water supply is frozen. If you purchase a bath with a built-in heater, all you need to do is plug it in. If you\u2019d like to convert an existing bird bath to a heated one, simply purchase an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/duncraft.com\/collections\/heated-baths-heaters\/products\/70-watt-bird-bath-de-icer-with-3-cord\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">immersion heater<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fountain-bird-bath\">Fountain Bird Bath<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/monk-333-lo-a-FbCZ74-unsplash-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/monk-333-lo-a-FbCZ74-unsplash-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/monk-333-lo-a-FbCZ74-unsplash-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/monk-333-lo-a-FbCZ74-unsplash-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/monk-333-lo-a-FbCZ74-unsplash-1536x1153.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/monk-333-lo-a-FbCZ74-unsplash-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/monk-333-lo-a-FbCZ74-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@monk333?utm_content=creditCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=unsplash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">monk 333<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/a-bird-is-drinking-water-from-a-fountain-lo-a-FbCZ74?utm_content=creditCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=unsplash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to attract more birds to your backyard, a fountain bird bath is a surefire way to do so.
