Allied Precision Industries (2 Pack) API 4WW Water Wiggler Water Agitator for Bird Baths

Attracts the birds and keep insects from hatching out in the water. I do remove it on the heaviest of rain days, to minimize internal damage of the unit.

Disclaimer, I am the unapologetic, unashamed "Crazy Bird Lady of White Oaks Road." I have tried numerous items to "move water' in our bird baths for the sole purpose of keeping mosquitoes from laying their blood-sucking larva on the surface during the night. These water wigglers are the only thing I have found that: works consistently, doesn't use any electricity, works when the sun goes down AND doesn't get gunk jammed up in pumps. Also - birds are more inclined to visit the bird baths with the less aggressive water wigglers than other items that splashed aggressively. I used water wigglers years ago, then switched to decorative rocks and solar powered bubblers - which were more hassle (see above). These water wigglers are genious, get the job done, and free up my time to go "full-on-Karen" with other important activities such as waging war on the squirrels destroying our property..................

I have purchased many devices to circulate water in a birdbath and feel they are essential if for no other reason than preventing insects from laying eggs with resulting larvae. Over the years, I've bought no fewer than eight Water Wigglers, my favorite of all devices, but have learned to take them out of the water during high wind, which here in the mountains of Colorado, we encounter frequently. The encasement of the Wiggler is fragile and in wind, the assembly will take flight and break. I now purchase two at a time.A recommended solution is to attach a fine fishing line to either a leg or (better) beneath the screw on top, tying the other end either under the bird bath or to its support. That works but looks tacky, but perhaps a tacky look is a small price to pay contrasted to replacement again and again.

This is an excellent, simple machine that is sturdy, totally water-proof, and easy to assemble. It uses 2 D-cell batteries, but they last for many months of constant use before they need changing. The water motion caused by the Water Wiggler is enough to keep mosquitoes from laying eggs, but it is gentle enough that the ripples serve to ATTRACT birds more than stationary water wood.... and the motion helps slow down the growth of algae some too. An excellent product.

These are great for bird baths without letting the mosquitoes lay their eggs

Not sure if they attract birds! Who knows?

When the description says 2-pack, I expect 2 items. I received 1water wiggler with 2 sets of parts. I am returning and ordering a 1-pack. My rating for easy to clean and assemble is based on my current water wiggler.

Bird bath water wiggler works great and birds love to see the water moving, attracts birdsThey only last a few years then the motor gets weak and will stop working That's why I buy the 2pkI'll have a replacement handyBatteries will last about 5 - 6 months
