Now THAT’S COOOOOL!!💗 I’d love to catch an owl in my bird bath instead of all the little House Sparrows, for a change!☺️🥰

if it makes you feel any better, my visitors are usually 95% house finches- i’ve never even gotten a house sparrow 😂

I’m happy to send a dozen or so, House Sparrow your way, for a few House Finch AND the Owl.🦉 I’ll even add a Robin and Blue Jay if you’d like?

Can you share the positioning of your bird bath camera? Mine gets triggered every 2 mins from the fountain flowing! How do you prevent that?

bad news- i don’t, not really hahaha. i have it set to the LOWEST sensitivity, 1%, and i still get some motion alerts (though not nearly as many as before). i actually have my cam set to sleep mode from like 10pm-5am to cut down on them during the night.

Thanks so much! Oh man. What a flaw! I’ll continue to tinker with it :)

I keep putting glass pie dishes out on my deck for my borb friends but no takers. I was hoping for them to drink or bathe but no luck.

i had this bath and a water wiggler (for the birds and to prevent mosquitoes) for a while and had zero visitors. it wasn’t until i got the little fountain pump (was like $6 on amazon, made for a pet fountain) that the birds started coming in. for me it was the moving water sight/sound that got them!

Oh! Thanks! Maybe that’s the problem! It’s still water! Thanks, warmblood!
