Add warm water to your birdbath.
Nothing is harder on a bird than a cold, snowy winter.
Not only do our feathered friends need food, they also need a generous supply of water to make it through. The birds use the water for drinking and for bathing. Once the lakes and rivers freeze over, the birds have to travel farther and farther to find water to drink. Plus, birds with dirty feathers have trouble flying. We often forget about our birdbaths during winter.
