[Tweeters] Frozen Bird Bath

[dgrainger at birdsbydave.com]

There are bird bath heaters available on Amazon and also from Wild Birds 
Unlimited. Ours works very well. We also have a warmer underneath ur 
main hummingbird feeder - which is close to the house, partially 
sheltered- and which is still seeing a number of Annas visiting. The 
hummer feeder heater consists of an  enclosed low wattage lightbulb 
inside of a red plastic shade that grasps the bottom of the feeder. We 
also got that from Wild Birds
