It gets really cold in some places. Yet birds persist. Well
meaning homeowners sometimes put out heated bird
baths, which the birds really like. Unfortunately, the birds
must then spend the remainder of the winter in the heated
bath, which they never figure out, because returning to
the
trees and bushed soaking wet means they freeze. This
is bad for the birds and bad for homeowner morale.
BUNGCO figured it out! Birds like to thrash around in sand
and dust also, and these substances do not adhere, cool
and cause the freezing risk of water. The Hot Sand Bird
Bath contains thrashworthy sand to let cold birds warm up.
Snow landing on the sand turns to water and melts away
through the bottom, leaving the sand warm and dry.
Now keep your bird friends toasty warm and not dead
because of you!

This is an excellent idea. You could also maintain the hot
sand as a fluidized bed, allowing the birds to immerse
themselves more easily. |

You could also have a remote control for the temperature so
that if, for example, a quail or partridge lands in the sand
bath, you can just tweak the temperature to about 190°C
until it's done. |

Kind treatment of birds. Add some croissants to complete the care package. {+} |
