Maintenance of the heated bird bath ....
The heated bird bath is a lot easier to take care of than a pond. However, a heated bird bath can develop similar problems to a pond if you don't take the time to regulate the temperature. Here are some tips on how to maintain your birdbath. For starters don't turn on your heated bird bath unless it is absolutely necessary. If the water is too warm, even though it may still be autumn, the water is more prone to growing ugly green algae. If you have not bought a heated bird bath and your problem is ice, the your best bet is to buy a de-icer. A de-icer meant meant for a garden pond such as a koi pond might do the trick in a birdbath but nowadays there are de-icers designed and manufactured specifically for birdbaths. You can find a heated bird bath or de-icers for a regular birdbath at online boutiques such as those shown below.
