Incorporate a Water Bowl

Once you have the bowl situated, you can have plants added to help maintain the bowl`s cleanliness as well as attract wildlife. Any type of bowl or shallow container can become a water bowl or as an added feature surrounding it. For best results, you can have the bowl maintain your home’s style.
When you need to add water, attempt to utilize rainwater or other water sources that have been outside for a while so that chemicals can be eliminated. You can also place a feature of still water next to green foliage to produce beautiful effects.
