Why a bubble rock?Sorenson says there are two reasons birds flock to bubble rocks. 1. Moving water is a bird magnet.“Birds can hear moving water, and it’s much easier to find,” she says. She doesn’t have much use for traditional birdbaths — shallow bowls of water that sit atop a tall pedestal. “Those kinds of things aren’t natural, and the birds don’t recognize them,” she says. “And if they are migrating, they don’t have time to figure out it’s a water source.”In this photo you see 14 American robins, one eastern bluebird and two American goldfinches enjoying the water.

This small, homemade fountain is more appealing to birds than a traditional birdbath because the sound of moving water makes it easier for wild birds to locate. Bonus: Mosquitoes tend not to lay eggs in moving water, making this a better choice than a still birdbath if mosquitoes are prevalent in your area.
