The process is very simple. All you need to do is prepare the suet, a mixture of bird seeds, worm powder, and raisins. Then mix them well in a towel bucket, melt the suet, and mix the other ingredients. Finally, place the cookies in a mold and hang the cookies over the yoghurt jar by wire on a bird feeder or any branch the bird might eat.

You can make your own garden bird cake as bird seed cakes because it will attract birds with their unique shapes, sizes, and tastes.

I start by rinsing the gourd with warm soapy water, then wipe with alcohol or distilled vinegar after the bulb dries. Soap water cleans most debris, while alcohol or vinegar cleans chemically. Vinegar and alcohol also dry out their moisture, which is necessary for the curing process. Then hang it for about a week, so I have a satisfactory gourd to make a nest for my birds.

Move the gourd somewhere dark and dry with good ventilation. It is best to hang it so you won’t have to rotate it every few weeks. If you are curing more than one gourd, make sure they don’t touch each other. If any gourd becomes soft or decays, dispose of it immediately.

The simplest method you can use to keep your birdbath clean may be to get the water moving by using a circulating water pump to prevent algae and insect breeding. Next is the use of copper for antibacterial purposes, which does not affect birds because they are not exposed to too much. And the last method I want to mention is regular tank maintenance.

An unclean and unmaintained bird bath invites diseases and death for the birds that use it. The inevitable bird droppings, feathers, seeds, dust, and other dirt from birds found in a bird bath can be a source of a disease. Not only are the potential diseases dangerous to birds, they can also harm humans.

But that attracts some other guests, especially mosquitoes. So, I discovered some ways to keep mosquitoes out of bird baths by changing the water regularly and use mosquito dunks. In addition, using moving water in bird bath is also the effective method.

In my journey of discovering how to keep mosquitoes out of bird baths, this is the most effective method I discovered. In my opinion, it is the most cost-effective way. It totally eliminates mosquitoes. And it even attracts more of the beautiful birds I enjoy watching around my bird bath.
