Always allow the paint to cure fully before exposing it to the elements.

To create a bird-friendly environment with bird baths featuring moving water, you can install a bird bath with a fountain or dripper to attract birds. Moving water helps birds notice the bath and keeps it fresh. Place the bath in a safe, open area with nearby perches for birds to rest and preen. Regularly clean and refill the bath to maintain a healthy environment for the birds.
