Can an electric bird bath warmer be used in it

It's made out of heavy-duty plastic, so I think it would work fine. (PS: The colors on the inside bottom of the bowl have all but faded.)

This bird bath will keep water fluid until outside temps fall to freezing or below then plug it in. As long as it is plugged in during the cold weather it will stay fluid. It will even melt snow that falls into it; however, during the winter the water evaporates so check it at least every few days. This is the best heated bird bath.

I don't see why not - It runs for hours on end in our bathroom daily during the winter. The heater really heats up a room of reasonable size quickly. Make sure it has space to draw air from behind and airflow is unobstructed. The unit is relatively quiet and puts off gentle heat complete room warming heat. Our dog enjoys standing in front of the fan on cold mornings! We have truly enjoyed this heater

Yes, I've had this bird bath heater for 2 years and it works great; I use an heavy duty outdoor extension cord (25')

Can I leave the unit in the bird bath to freeze overnight if I don't want to run it 24 hours?

The device has an internal thermostat that cannot be reset. I just add water about every day to the bird bath. That has the added benefit of cleaning out the bird droppings every now and then with a broom.

I purchased this for a cockatiel, it's very small, more like for a parakeet or finch sized bird. I ended up taking the top off mine and using it for a water bowl. I'd recommend getting a bigger bath than this one.

none whatsoever as far as the heated bird bath goes. but how low to the ground is this stump? i find the birds like the birdbaths to have some height to them. also, please note that you will definitely need an extension cord - as the cord on the bird bath is very short. And, finally, i have three of these (yes - i love them) and put a nice size rock in the middle of each - both for stability and the birds stand on the rock and feel secure about the depth of the water. enjoy!

we take this tiffany inspired bird bath in for the winter. I think it might crack under cold winter weather.

You may use the bath year-round. The manufacturer suggests purchasing a birdbath de-icer; just make sure the de-icer can withstand the temperatures in your area. If you are not able to keep your water from freezing during the winter, you may remove the basin and invert it over the pedestal or take the whole bath indoors. Your main concern is to prevent the water from freezing.

Yes. I am very happy with the purchase and would buy another one if I had two bird baths.

Yes. It's the perfect size bird bath for all small birds like parakeet, finch, canaries, any similar sized birds. Your bird may be a little weary of it at first, until he/she realizes what it is, unless your bird is already adjusted to using a similar bird bath such as this one.

Ceramic heat lamps sold for reptiles work for this application. I used one years ago when our parrot was ill. Clip the lowest watt one to the side of the cage and he/ she will snuggle up or move away as they choose.

This might work? K&H Manufacturing Snuggle Up Bird Warmer, Small/Medium Grey

No. It's a light, not a heater. It looks like there are heated perches available. Maybe that would help.....

yes, I very much like this one; http://www.amazon.com/Hydor-7-5w-Heater-Bettas-Bowls/dp/B006JVQ67K/ref=sr_1_6?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1387438886&sr=1-6&keywords=aquarium+heater It works well without cooking your fish.

noooooo - by all means do NOT cut the cord off. You never know when some freaky cold weather blows into town. The birds will so love the water being warm.And, besides that - the cord wraps neatly underneath and you wouldn't even know it was there. I have 3 (that's right 3) of these heated bird baths and i love them - but the birds love them even more. I'm up in Massachusetts and it does cold here - that's for sure. To see the birds line up in the dead of winter to splash for even a few seconds - is thrilling to watch. And, finally, these heated birdbaths are very easy to scrub clean - a must chore. Sorry to have gone on so - but you will not be dissapointed. Enjoy!!!! noooooo - by all means do NOT cut the cord off. You never know when some freaky cold weather blows into town.
