Ha!
I thought of it when I heard you could recycle metal foils in the recycle bin collections. It does work really, really well.
Anther thing to think about (and try) is putting fresh lavender cuttings in the water. Supposed to prevent the algae... I don't know what the birdies think about that.
Susie, I read the thing about the lavender but the thing I read said to put 6 flower stalks of lavender tied together with a daylily leaf in the birdbath. I've always wondered if that works but lavender didn't grow down south so i could never test the theory.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown

Thought it might be fun to hear from folks who actually took advantage of various tips found here. I had a couple wads of foil today and decided to clean my birdbath of some algae. Works like a CHARM.
