Bird baths are a great way to attract birds to your yard, but keeping them clean is crucial for the birds' health. To maintain a clean bird bath, choose a location away from debris, always use fresh water, keep it out of direct sunlight, add movement to the water, clean with vinegar, and clean the bath every two to four days. Additionally, dropping a few pennies in the bath can help delay the onset of algae.
Cinnamon can be an effective mosquito repellent and larvae killer when added to a birdbath due to its eugenol content. However, while the smell of cinnamon may repel birds, taste is unlikely to be a factor as birds have few taste buds. It is important to use Ceylon (true) cinnamon, as cassia (Chinese) cinnamon contains coumarin, which is toxic to birds. Adding a fountain to the birdbath may be a better option as the constant movement of water deters mosquitoes.

The Baltimore Orioles have been a surprise success this season, with a 25-13 record that has fans excited about the team's future. The team has introduced a new cheering section called the Bird Bath splash zone, where fans can be hosed down after extra-base hits and key moments. The section has been a hit, with 2,000 tickets sold within 48 hours of its announcement. The Orioles' success has been driven by young stars like Cedric Mullins, who hit for the cycle in a recent game, and the team's fun-loving clubhouse atmosphere.
Baltimore Orioles' centerfielder Cedric Mullins hit for the cycle, becoming the seventh Oriole to accomplish the feat and the first since Austin Hays in June 2022. Mullins hit a single, triple, double, and homer in a single game, capping off the cycle with a home run in the bottom of the eighth. The Orioles won 6-3 against the Pittsburgh Pirates, who have lost 10 of their last 11 games. The Orioles also debuted their new "Bird Bath" fan section during the game.
