Beating the Heat This SummerDear Friend of Nature,
Well, July is here again, promising tobring with it the kind of scorchingtemperatures that will make you feel likeyou're on the set of "Lawrence of Arabia."
But while we're trying to stay cool,shuttling in and out of air conditioning onour way to the next barbecue, birds areactively seeking food, and moreimportantly, as many water sources asthey can find.
You see, birds need water just as muchas they need food. Their very highmetabolic rate and respiration systemdrains moisture from their bodies quickly,resulting in some very parched birds.
Birds do not use water just to quenchtheir thirst, they also use it for bathingand preening their feathers. Cleanfeathers are very important for birds'health and optimum flying ability.
It's easy to give the birds in yourbackyard all the water they need - offerthem a birdbath. And since birds locatewater by sound and sight, add somethingto your birdbath to get the water inmotion.
We offer a variety of water accessoriessuch as fountain inserts, drippers,misters and water wigglers that will turna quiet birdbath into a bird magnet.
Stop by our store this month. We wouldlove to hear about your birds and sharesome suggestions on how to create asummertime water oasis in yourbackyard, starting with one of ourbirdbaths or fountains, all of which are20% OFF, including our all-in-one BoulderBrook fountain.
