Feather Care

A Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia) yesterday at the birdbath. Feather care.

Keeping those feathers clean is essential for health. Clean those feather little bird. Keep those feather free of dirt, parasites, and bacteria. Keep those feathers in tiptop shape.

The birdbath next to the garden here at the cabin is a busy place even during the winter. Not just for drinking but for feather care. Very important.
