Create Moving Waters

Dripping water is very attractive to birds because the ripples created in a bird bath can be seen by birds from a great distance. Misters spray a fine cloud of water that many birds find irresistible. Misters attract a wide variety of Hummingbirds.

Routine Operation:
It is preferable to operate your Dripper/ Mister on a daily basis, as this provides the birds with a dependable supply of cool fresh water and also keeps your bird bath full.  The easiest and most dependable way to do this is by using a battery operated water timer which can be purchased from most local garden centers or hardware stores.  With a timer, we often observe the birds gathering around the bath about 15 minutes before the timer is scheduled to come on.  Mid to late afternoon seems to be a favorite bathing time.
