Attracting Wildlife With a Garden Fountain

Many people have been using a solar fountain to beautify their garden or other outdoor space.
The fountain is an eye-catching sculpture itself, but the flowing water does more than simply provide beauty.
Many songbirds and other wildlife are drawn to the fresh, clean water to drink and refresh themselves.
Some solar fountains are constructed with a traditional birdbath design, while others offer cascading water through naturalistic rocks, ceramic pots, or Old World sculpture.
Wildlife seek out these sources of flowing water, further augmenting the visual beauty and appearance of your garden space.
Birds and other wildlife may be able to sense the negative ions emitted by flowing water.
These ions are present in much the natural world and are considered to contribute to a sense of well-being for animals and humans alike.
Negative ions improve air quality and eliminate stress and fatigue from the body.
Some believe that negative ions produce positive vibrations.
Places you might experience an abundance of negative ions are at the beach and underneath a waterfall.
The freshness of salt water air at the beach and crisp air in the mountains is said to be filled with tens of thousands of negative ions.
Many fewer are found in our homes or office buildings.
Fountains reduce the dryness in air and regulate the level of humidity.
Variation in humidity occurs with change in temperatures.
A garden fountain works in a natural way to maintain the levels of humidity, without creating mildew or condensation.
The humid micro-environment surrounding your garden fountain will be an oasis for your nature friends.
Pets also appreciate the positive impact produced by water fountains.
Have you ever watched your dog or cat drinking water from a leaking hose or a running tap? Pets and wild animals alike love fresh running water.
We humans live in a noisy world.
Unwanted noise is made by vehicles, machines and industry.
A garden fountain has the ability to neutralize unpleasant noise that can be disturbing or annoying.
The gurgling, trickling sound of the water fountain is pleasant and enjoyable in and of itself.
However, the flowing water is also a source of soft white noise.
This beneficial side effect of the flowing water makes the space around a garden fountain seem more quiet and peaceful to humans and wildlife alike.
When planning your garden landscape project, be sure to include a garden fountain.
Enjoy the benefits of the fountain alongside some feathered friends.
Garden fountains come in many styles and price points.
Choose the type that fits in with your project.
