This cold winter season, help out your fellow feathered friends with this cool new Heated Birdbath ($77). It not only attracts a large crowd of seasonal birds for some great bird watching, it provides life-saving open water for them to drink and wash with. Without regular cleaning, a bird's feathers actually lose the ability to insulate in cold weather.

This innovative 14" birdbath holds 12 cups of water and prevents it from freezing down to 20° below zero. It features a built-in thermostat, heat-absorbing foam insulation, a 13' power cord and even saves energy on warmer days. There are three versions available depending on where you would like to place it: ground-level, deck-mounted or staked.

I just know that one morning I will look out hoping to see some cardinals frolicking in the water, only to end up seeing an evil gang of squirrels relaxing in it like its a hot tub. Oh well, I guess that would be kind of fun to see too. (via Michael Kiely)

The birds will love this.
