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.</p>

Heated pet water bowls work just as well as bird bowls and baths and are
often less expensive. A bowl with a few rocks to give the birds something
to sit on while they drink or bath improves there use dramatically. The
only drawback is a plug-in is necessary. The birds love my fountain but
when it is as cold as it is now it still will freeze up. Next year I will
clean the tank and when I do I'll add a water heater. Then come winter when
it starts to get cold I can plug in the heater and keep the water warm
enough it won't freeze.<br>
