The good news is that you can help keep your wild neighbors cool this summer! 🧊 Providing shade and fresh water are safe, easy ways to support backyard wildlife as long as you follow some simple guidelines. ⬆️ ⁣
⁣
Please note that any water dish or bird bath must be cleaned regularly with soapy water, followed by a 10% bleach solution left on the dish for 10 minutes before rinsing it off. 🧼 Ensuring your bird baths are clean and sanitized prevents disease transmission. πŸ¦†β£
