💨 Abstract

Placing a pre-1982 penny in your bird bath can help prevent algae growth. The copper in these pennies triggers a chemical reaction that inhibits algae and other microorganisms. This trick is cost-effective and easy, but ensure the penny is free of rust. Regular cleaning of the bird bath is still necessary to maintain a healthy environment for birds. Additionally, providing water, food, and natural habitats in your garden can attract more wildlife.
