Message: [QUOTE="ts_guest, post: 70653, member: 2737"] I had no clue they were considered outdated! Not in my area. I had a very large diving swimming pool and the birds would come and sit on the cool deck or plop themselves onto the floater. I enjoyed watching them. But, I got tired of the maintenance for the pool and so, after 17 years, I had it demolished. In it's place I put a 24 inch tall cement bird bath. I placed a Water Wiggler in the middle to keep the mosquitoes from breeding, and also three small copper tubes to prevent algae buildup during the summer months. The birds love the bath. I must say thought there seems to be a certain time of the year when less birds come around. I live in the desert southwest and I was told the birds that are indigenous to the area do not migrate. My neighbor has had a bird bath up in his front yard for 10 years and stated, the birds seem to come around for periods of time and then they disappear for a while. The most birds I have had at one time was five. Four little birds inside bathing away and one propped up on the side watching. I have two Chihuahuas that go in and out through their doggy door. When they are outside they pay no attention to the birds, so that's a good thing, and the birds don't seem to mind. [/QUOTE]
