Bird Bath Dripper

A bird bath is a great way to attract many species of birds to your backyard. And by adding a bird bath dripper to your bird bath system, you can create the ultimate oasis for birds to drink, bathe, splash, and play.

What is a bird bath dripper?

A bird bath dripper in its simplest form is a small hose that drips a continuous stream of water into the basin of your bird bath. The sights and sounds a bird bath dripper makes have been proven to attract birds to bird baths more effectively than standing water.

What are the benefits of having a bird bath dripper?

Birds locate water through both sight and sound. The splashing sounds and rippling motions a bird bath dripper makes will make your bird bath irresistible to birds.

Plus, standing water is a breeding ground for algae, bacteria, and disease. Mosquitoes that carry the West Nile Virus often make their home in stagnant water. Using a bird bath dripper to continually add fresh water to your bird bath will keep it cleaner and disease free.

How is a bird bath dripper different from a mister?

The purpose of a bird bath dripper and a mister is to attract birds to your bird bath using sound and movement. Birds can splash and bathe in both misters and drippers, but a bird bath dripper creates more appealing sounds and water motion.

For areas where water conservation is a concern, a bird bath dripper is a wise choice, as it is more efficient and uses less water than a mister.

Where and how should I set up my bird bath dripper?

Bird bath drippers are most effective when placed above a bird bath so that the water drops fall into the basin, creating sound and motion that birds are instinctually attracted to. A bird bath dripper can be mounted on the edge of the bird bath or placed on a hook to hang over the basin. 

A bird bath combined with a bird bath dripper is the most effective way to attract birds to your backyard. The sound of a bird bath dripper is proven to entice birds and the motion created in the water will help keep the bird bath free of bacteria and disease. Create an ideal drinking and bathing water source for your feathered visitors with a bird bath dripper.
