Mike Pingleton ๐ธ๐ฉโPut pebbles in your birdbath so that bees and other insects can drinkโ, I was told. Today I got visual confirmation of this.
playinginthedirt@somuchpingle A small crock with sand, pebbles, and some larger rocks works great also.
@pitd thatโs cool! Iโm gonna do that too, thanks!
@somuchpingle add some crushed oyster shells, if you can't get that a bit of salt.
Roger Lipscombe@somuchpingle this is a cool tip. We've got a mid-level bird bath (which the starlings love), a pond-in-a-pot (for the sparrows), and a ground-level water tray (robins and wrens). I'll add some large pebbles to some of them today.
@rogerlipscombe cool! ๐๐๐โค๏ธ
Tลกepiso@somuchpingle I donโt have a birdbath but now I want one so I can witness this ๐ฅบ๐โจ

Aunt Eef@somuchpingle It helps the birds too, some birdbaths are pretty slippery!
The greatest things I have found for my birdbaths are solar fountains. They just burble up a little and keep the water moving. I love them!
@aunteef thank you, I will take a look at those! ๐๐๐โค๏ธ
