Fresh water is vital for the birds in your garden. Not only do they need to drink but, to keep their feathers in top order, they need a regular bath too.
If you haven't already got a pond or bird bath in your garden then think about providing something. It needn't be extravagant, a plastic dish is adequate.
But make sure you fill it regularly, especially in warm weather, and give it a clean so algae, dirt and disease doesn't get a chance to build up.
