There are little “immersion” heaters which will help. Topping your bird bath with hot water will help melt any icy edges that have started to form–and keep your bird bath on the FULL side as shallow water freezes” more quickly.

Thanks for your sharing. Feeding birds in the winter is a very meaningful and necessary thing for bird feeder. Your tips are very helpful and good. I like the tip that puts peanut butter on the stem when there’s no bird feeder available. It’s so creative and I haven’t thought of this before. And can you show me how to keep bird bath from freezing?

Oh, I agree! If you go back and re-read the sentence, it says “palm oil-free” shortening, meaning shortening that does not contain palm oil.
Thanks.

There are alternatives to palm oil, Google.
