Fun bath

Hey,

I've got a birdbath that is serving no use at the moment. I've learned they are facinated by straw and plain white paper. I was maybe thinking that would be fun to the fill the bath with some straw and paper pieces. Would it be bad for them? No chew on the straws and fling them around but don't destroy it.

Yeah if you've watched them in the past and they just play with the straws and paper, then it sounds fun! Maybe hide something interesting beneath the stuff too? I would watch out that it doesn't turn into a negative nesting opportunity. (I'm talking to you Gigi!) Show us a pic?

Yes! I've love to see a picture of what you set up for the birds.

That looks like a fun little play station! And they'll love digging. My birds love to grab things and fling them out.

I know it's been awhile since anyone replied to this thread, but maybe you could hide some treats under the paper+straws to create a foraging area?
