API 650 Heated Bird Bath

5/5 — Our Rating

Our Review

A thermostatically controlled heated bird bath that keeps water from freezing down to -20°F. Water is just as important as food for birds, and in winter when natural water sources freeze, a heated bird bath becomes a critical resource.

Why We Love It

In winter, our heated bird bath is actually busier than the feeders. Birds NEED water for drinking and bathing, even in freezing temperatures. Seeing a cardinal drinking from an ice-free bath on a snowy morning is magical.
