Or is it more a thing of swapping them out every spring/fall?<br/><br/>I had no idea about ground-level baths, but I guess it does make sense, since that is where a bird might look for a puddle. 2025-08-03T19:43:46Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxku5kpwwtyped09mgnl05dy6s9lnmytmuf8x8r93cpsrjnphk72gzypqwggennymavn8sasmtkzd50xdketukr4ldatlsjcyfq55p5896qrrld6y In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxtnrkut4yl4qphc7d0sd5sr5fp784vx77mk0lhjzauhn9pgv7cjq346t7n'>nevent1q…6t7n</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I got too many home projects between now and then, but someday I&#39;d like to put a bird bath outside, maybe even in winter with one of those heaters that keeps it just above freezing.<br/><br/>Do you have any trusted sources of info on how to responsibly set up and clean a bird bath? Like I see you&#39;ve got rocks in yours, which looks nice and more like some water as it might appear in nature, but it also looks harder to keep clean.<br/><br/>(I&#39;m in Michigan, so our biomes are similar) 2025-08-03T19:23:16Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsp6yj6fzm7jcw0k9t69v8jeazk9ppfstzl57lcsd3l6eelfka9yfszypqwggennymavn8sasmtkzd50xdketukr4ldatlsjcyfq55p5896qgsruzk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0n5p40zg5p9ydppwjrutj9fu8u6nchjqse37kzqt6tkxfsyhsrjsj3ggms'>nevent1q…ggms</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Makes me think of this <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1fdrpydz4n2dpgpy5xhsa6rjg8ytggn82mt0addw6sf93272nhhnqsjlvhs" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Cory Doctorow</span> (<span class="italic">npub1fdr…lvhs</span>)</a></span> quote from a few days back:<br/><br/>&gt; Trump&#39;s lifelong strategy has been to race across a succession of rivers on the backs of alligators without losing a leg.

We thought we knew that the &#34;hey sweetie&#34; call was loud and territorial, but many times, while bird mom was sitting on eggs, bird dad would land on a branch near the hole, and he&#39;d do a few very quiet hey sweeties.<br/><br/>Sometimes she would exit the nest and they&#39;d both fly off together, and other times, after making a few calls, he&#39;d perch right by the hole and poke his head in (we presumed delivering food).<br/><br/>Anyway that&#39;s how we learned that the hey sweetie call can sometimes actually just mean hey sweetie. 2025-06-30T17:22:04Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2pw5v6ah8ypd977y9nd0zeztn47m3m7ajyennzcz5teykthqdzaqzypqwggennymavn8sasmtkzd50xdketukr4ldatlsjcyfq55p5896q9klrxl In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswsg2aefclx8djw93nve85hv4ugvehp8zhut7mmerxuerkxe9rqvg9f0yss'>nevent1q…0yss</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I get that &#34;old enough to follow parent everywhere, constantly demanding to be fed&#34; isn&#39;t by any means limited to birds.
