In the south any standing water becomes a nursery for our swarms of voracious mosquitoes, so I do not have a birdbath in the spring and summer (I also do not have a bird feeder in the summer either, but that is because they attract bears which are fewer in number than the multitudinous mozzies, but even more disturbing when they make their appearance).
But for those of you who who are willing to brave the biters for some quality bird watching, I have a little tip that will help keep the gross green stuff that grows in your birdy spa to a minimum! Drop a few pennies in the next time you change the water (which you should do frequently for the health of your feathered friends), and the copper will help retard algal growth!
