How can you make a bird bath?

There are two kinds of easy bird baths to make. I will cover both.

1: Open space bird bath

Birds love ponds, streams, etc. That is why we made this up. Depending on what kinds of birds you are trying to attract you may need a different size of a plant saucer. I got a medium size. Dig a small hole large enough to fit your saucer in it. Put your saucer in it and... voila! To improve your bird habitat add a feeder and a nesting box.

2: Raised bird bath

Get a pot and plant saucer. Flip your pot upside down and glue the saucer to the bottom. Fill it with water. In no time you may see many birds come to take a dip.

I hope that this helped a bunch. If you want to get more into birds visit allaboutbirds.org

Why are the wingspans of birds a consideration in determining the spacing between parallel wires in a power line?

If the wingspan of birds is sufficient to span the wires that differ in electric potential, then the bird acts as a path for current to flow from the high voltage wire to the low voltage wire. Since the electric potential differences are huge in power lines, it is very likely that the bird will be cooked when it completes the circuit and the ground below will become littered with carcasses.

Can a bird eat crackers?

yep

Littleuni: Yes! They also enjoy cake and mashed fruits and vegtables. If they are egg chickens, dont feed them meat. It will not make the eggs taste good.

Basicly anything you have leftover they can eat.

The bird of paradise plant absolutely will flower every year if watered and fertilized properly. However a new plant could take 3 to 5 years to start blooming. I live in southern Fla and it blooms all year and is common to see. As far as pictures of them being rare - that is the stupidest comment I have ever heard.

Do pennies in a birdbath harm birds?

Copper sulphate is used in the control of algae. Whether dacaying pennies is enough to control the growth on an unknown volume of pond or birdbath is uncertain. Why don't you get two birdbaths, put pennies in one and nothing in the other and see if it works? But, be careful with your results. The birds may like the one with the shiny coins better and poop in it more, because it is more popular and cause it to grow more phytoplankton. note: Only pennies made before 1982 are 95% copper. Newer ones are 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper. Use a piece of copper pipe instead. Copper works as a preventative algecide mostly when the copper is in a dissolved state and floating freely in the water. This is why copper sulfate works well because it dissolves whereas pennies will not (unless the water is acidic). I would expect the pennies would leave a relatively cleaner spot where they lie. I would just buy a small bucket of 3" chlorine tablets and let one slowly dissolve at a time, won't kill wildlife because of the relatively small concentration of chlorine released over time, unless you place them in a spot where water RUSHES by the tablet.
