Looking for a quality heated birdbath for winter. (1 Viewer)

Mom loves her birds and would like to have a bird bath this winter for them. Anyone have any leads for a traditional standing bird bath that has a heater in it?

Welcome to Birdforum.

Hopefully someone from the US will be able to help you.

Hi and welcome ! I can't help much but, how cold does it get where you are? Here in the middle of the UK I go with unheated and something like a tennis ball to stop the surface totally freezing!

-17c to -6c is the lowest but we can see 20c changes threw the day looking at heated dog bowl as another option.

Another option might be to use a compressed air pump which creates bubbles that prevent / reduce the risk of freezing. I know I have seen such a system in a garden centre, but can't find any link.

I can’t find what we used in AZ we would get into the 20s at night at our elevation. It was something very similar to this, we just made sure to wrap the plug into the extension cord with waterproof tape:

They also have heated bird baths on there, but much more costly.
