[Tweeters] Frozen Bird Bath

[Kevin Lucas]

I second using heated pet bowls. Ours work well. To them I add a second 
plastic bowl that nests inside to work like a double boiler. That liner 
bowl is easy to pull out and quickly scrub clean in our laundry room 
washtub, without having to unplug the heater bowl. Our bowls trigger on at 
about 40 degrees.

Good Birding,
