Whilst many people put out food for birds, fewer provide a regular supply of clean water. Many seed-eating birds have a dry diet and therefore need to drink more, but water to bath in is equally important. Bathing and preening are essential parts of feather maintenance; baths help remove dirt, loose feathers and other debris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA good bird bath has a rough surface so birds can grip it with their claws. Moreover, having shallow sloping sides to approach the water with varying water depths to allow each species to bathe at their preferred depth is ideal. The positioning of the bath is also crucial; birds will only use it if they feel safe. Daily rinsing and refilling the bath helps remove the build-up of dirt and droppings.
