GESAIL Bird Bath Heater, Built in Thermostat Safety Durable 50W Bird Bath Heaters for Outdoors in Winter with Auto Shut Off Function for Garden Outdoor Yard Patio Birdbath

Product Information

Steady heat (thermostat controlled) saves your bird bath bowl from breaking due to the stress of repeated freezing and thawing that causes cracking. Keeping the water level just below the rim, or lifting the cord enough to avoid contact with the rim, prevents the problem. Note that: You can keep your bird bath and de-icer free of mold by adding a splash of hydrogen peroxide to the water in your birdbath. This bird bath de-icer is suitable for winter and provides plenty of drinking water for birds and small animals. You will absolutely enjoy viewing varieties of birds or other small animals making a show or drinking water.

Even with the extreme cold weather during part of the northeast's winter, it continued to work, keeping my birdbath ice free all winter.I've also seen free-standing heated bird baths, but we're not interested in adding to our collection. These bowls are too deep for most birds to bathe in except for a flock of American Robins one winter.

I also put a deeper terracotta pot on the front porch that Carolina Chickadees became quite fond of. When I was into dog breeding I sued to have some metal puppy warming tray like items that could be covered and placed under puppies to keep them warm. This option works best when the solar fountain is removed at night and set out with fresh water every morning. If the bowl gets too empty, little birds have to tip forward and be almost standing on their heads to drink. This de-icer is thermostat controlled so it keeps the water from freezing but doesn’t let it get overly hot, even if the winter day gets a bit warmer.Until this year, I had a second one of these on a small table on my front porch that did get a lot of bird activity. My thought would be to see if you can see any small difference that might be the cause (since manufacturers can sometimes change their products over time.
