A: You've probably enjoyed the entertainment that bathing and preening birds provide at your summer bath. You'll continue to find pleasure in providing bath water through the winter months as well. The water that you supply in the winter is vital through the colder months when alternative sources are frozen or sealed off. In the winter when water is scarce, birds often eat snow to get water. A source of unfrozen water will help the birds to conserve energy (the energy required to thaw the snow). As well, birds will continue to use the water for bathing, which is vital for maintaining the insulating properties of birds' plumage. To prevent bird water from freezing, many bird enthusiast boil a kettle of water each morning to pour in their plastic or metal bath. (Ceramic and terra-cotta baths will crack on freezing.) As well, there are a variety of submersible heaters that are available at your local garden center that will prevent freezing for only pennies a month.
