Had to choose between a heated bird bath and a bigger seed hopper for my Ohio yard

My budget was tight, just $80, and winter was coming. I went with the heated bath because the creek froze over. It worked, I saw a dozen cardinals using it last Tuesday. But now I'm refilling the seed every other day. Did I pick wrong?

Look at those cardinals using the bath, you definitely made the right call. The seed is going fast because you've created a reliable spot with food AND water now. That's a win, even if it costs a bit more in seed.

Read that birds need both to really stick around.
