How to turn a water bottle into a bird feeder?
Transforming a water bottle into a bird bath with Cycléa
What if a simple water bottle could become a bird bath for garden birds?
With Cycléa, EVENA offers a simple and clever solution to reuse a 1.5 L water bottle and provide water for birds on a balcony, a terrace, or in the garden.
A practical way to take care of birds while giving a bottle a second use before it is recycled.
Why provide a bird bath for birds?
Birds need water all year round, not only to drink but also to maintain their plumage.
In summer, during hot and dry periods, finding an accessible water source can become more difficult. Installing a bird bath therefore allows you to provide them with an additional water source near your home.
But water should not be reserved only for heatwaves: a bird bath can be installed all year round, provided you regularly renew the water and keep the container clean.
How to turn a bottle into a bird bath?
That is precisely the concept behind Cycléa.
Rather than using a specific reservoir, Cycléa allows you to transform a compatible 1.5 L water bottle into a reservoir for a bird bath.
The principle is simple:
- Fill a compatible bottle with clean water.
- Screw the bottle onto the Cycléa receptacle.
- Turn the whole assembly over.
- Install the bird bath in the designated spot.
The water flows gradually into the receptacle and remains accessible to the birds.
You thus get a bird bath with a bottle, featuring a large water reserve that is easy to fill.
A 1.5 L bottle as a water reserve
Cycléa has been designed to work with various 1.5-liter water bottles.
We have specifically tested its compatibility with several bottles commonly available in France but also in Europe, such as Vittel, Volvic, or Contrex.
Since not all bottles on the market have the exact same neck or thread, it is advisable to check their compatibility with Cycléa.
This usage also offers a very simple benefit: a bottle you already have at home can find a new function before being recycled.
Where to install your Cycléa bird bath?
Depending on the chosen version, Cycléa can be installed against a support or hung up.
For the comfort of the birds and to preserve water quality, choose a shaded location, sheltered from direct sunlight.
For a hanging installation, also choose a location that is sufficiently clear and secure to allow birds to come and drink easily.
A few simple steps for clean water
Installing a bird bath is a good thing, but maintaining it is just as important.
Renew the water regularly, and even more frequently when it is hot. Also clean the receptacle to avoid the accumulation of dirt.
If several birds frequent your bird bath, monitor the condition of the water regularly and clean it as soon as necessary.
Cycléa: reuse, observe, and take care of birds
With Cycléa, EVENA wanted to imagine an original, practical bird bath made in France, which uses a 1.5 L water bottle as a reservoir.
Installed in the garden, on a terrace, or a balcony depending on the version chosen, it allows you to simply create a water point for birds.
And it is also an opportunity to observe tits, sparrows, robins, and other visitors coming to enjoy this new water point.
Cycléa – the bird bath that gives your water bottle a new purpose.
