Why You Should Toss Pennies in Your Birdbath

Turns out, dropping a few clean copper coins in your birdbath can help keep that gross green algae away—no scrubbing needed! The copper messes with algae growth, making your birdbath way more inviting for feathered friends, especially during those brutal July heatwaves. Just don’t go overboard—too much copper isn’t great for birds, so stick to a couple of coins and keep the water fresh. Bonus tip: set up birdbaths at different heights to attract all kinds of birds! #Home #GardenHacks #Birdwatching
