looking toward winter...and the continued use of my birdbath...

i want to find a non-electric way to thaw my birdbath this
winter.  i've heard of solar warmers, but don't know where
to get one.  also, i'm wondering about these thawing trays
advertised on tv.  they're apparently made of some material
that thaws food in minutes.  (don't know if they actually work,
seems strange to me that they could.)  i called Plow and
Hearth, but they only have electric thawers.  looked thru
Wildbird Magazine, but didn't see anything.

any suggestions?

respond here, or e-mail bl8w@virginia.edu, 
or call 4-3159 or 296-9240.

thnx.

hmmm....  "Non-electric Ways to warm up a birdbath"...  Too good to pass 
up!  

1.  3' parabolic mirror focused on the bottom of the birdbath.  Don't let 
the birdies fly in the light.

2.  Some sort of microwave device.  Side benefit: no need to drive all 
the way to KFC.

3.  One word: Propane.

4.  Put _Lots_ of salt in the water to keep it from freezing.

5.  I wonder if you could convert one of those bug zappers.... Nah, it's 
electric.

6.  How about one of those little coffee warmers?

Any more?

Hemp salve and mushrooms for the birds?  Wow...you'll get a whole flock 
at your feeder with those!
