  • I have two birdbaths, let the other one dry out and the mold just flakes up and you can spray it off, then switch it!

  • Bird baths are great for pollinators too! I also have a 20 gallon goldfish pond, that has worked out very well in my yard for many years.

  • I disagree , sometimes a bath can get too gritty and vinegar wont get it done. I use a ratio of 1-10 bleach to water and it is safe just rinse well afterwards. This is what I do for my hummingbird feeders if they develope mold and this method was given to me by an official bird bander so I see no problem with doing it with a birdbath. You can try vinegar first if it works for you ok. But most times it wont.

  • This video is really good up until the part where she says to use a mixture of BLEACH and water to clean the bird bath. NEVER, NEVER do this! Bleach is a poisonous chemical and VOC (volatile organic compound) and can cause serious harm to birds and other wildlife (not to mention pets, children and you). A solution of 1 cup water to 2 tablespoons vinegar is safe and totally effective. No chemicals, please!
