Chris & others
What's the appropriate way to minimise spreading of diseases via bird baths and other water provisions? I empty our birdbath and leave it dry in the sun for a day every week or so (birdbath is mostly used by larger birds - currawongs, magpies, crimson rosellas, red wattle birds, crested pigeons etc), and empy and clean a water bowl that the CRs use all the time also about once every couple of weeks.  (The small birds tend to use the pond, which is also used by RWs & CRs - it's filtered and has fish, lots of plants and snails & other little critters.)
thanks
Barbara
