We have a new concrete bird bath and before I set it up I have a few questions.
I would like to change the color is possible so it's not so stark with just the natural cement color. Can I put some sort of stain or coloring that won't peel off on the outside surfaces? I want t make sure nothing would leach into the water that would hurt the birds so I plan on coloring just the outsides not where the water will go.
Also it was suggested to turn the basin over in the winter so there would be not water in it so it doesn't damage the basin when it freezes. So would it be a good idea to seal the inside of the basin where the water goes with some type of sealer? Again I don't want to cause any problems for the birds.
Or should I just put it out the way it is and keep it clean and full of water [img]/forums/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
