๐ญ๐๐๐: Fresh water is just as important to garden birds as food. Birds need it for drinking and bathing, which helps keep their feathers clean and in good condition.
Alongside feeding your garden visitors, providing a shallow dish of fresh water gives birds somewhere safe to drink and bathe.
Change the water daily and give the dish a good clean once a week to help keep visiting birds healthy. Even an old plant-pot saucer can do the job!

๐ฐ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐: Choose a shallow container with gently sloping sidesโno more than around 10 cm deepโand place it somewhere birds can spot approaching cats. Replace the water every day and clean the container weekly to reduce the spread of disease.
