Drippers, Misters & Wigglers

Benefits from Adding Drippers, Misters, Wigglers or Waterfalls to Your Bird Baths and Garden Ponds

Adding drippers, misters or wigglers to your bird baths is super easy, not expensive and comes with many benefits for both you and your backyard birds! A waterfall rock in your pond or water feature is just as easy and adds the rhythmic sound of falling water—a magnet for birds and a source of instant peace and calm for you!

All these items are simple to add, mostly just plug in and play! They’re also convenient and relatively carefree for you, too. Another benefit!

Attracting New Birds

The best benefit is how adding motion and sound of moving water to your bird bath is ‘good advertising’. Birds will be attracted by the splashing and movement, so you may see more visitors at your feeders, too.

Another bonus, is seeing birds at your bath that will never be tempted by your seed feeders, like the insect and fruit eaters. All birds need water year round!

Stopping Mosquitoes

As a bonus for you and your family, keeping water in motion deters mosquito breeding. Mosquitoes seek water that is still and stagnant for their egg-laying. And that’s exactly why any well-maintained bird bath will not breed mosquitoes!!! Even without a dripper, mister or wiggler. Find out how and why in our resource “Mosquitoes, Bird Baths and Your Backyard“.

JOY! Hummingbirds and Misters

If you have Hummingbirds visiting your yard, you will definitely want to have a water mister. One of backyard birding’s best opportunities to see Hummingbirds up close: Watching Hummers dart in and out of the mist — possibly even pausing (As much as a Hummingbird can pause…don’t blink!) to take a bath by rubbing against soaked leaves.

Waterfalls for Bird Baths or Water Garden Pond Features

Moving water is a natural bird magnet. A waterfall, with the rhythm of moving water, is a natural bird magnet and can also be a source of peace and calm for you.

Waterfall “rocks” blend into a natural water setting while hidden interior pumps recirculate the water in your bird bath or garden pond. Textured surfaces provide secure ‘footing’ and birds will love drinking from the small pools of water on top of the rocks.

Just place one of our waterfall rocks in your bird bath or pond and plug it in! It’s that simple! It only needs electricity and at least an inch and a half of water to operate.
