QUESTION: How exactly does this work? ANSWER: It is really simple. The red bowl has a black inner bowl that adds to the insulation factor. The lid is black which adds to retaining heat from the winter sun.Review Summary (Based on 6 Reviews)

totally does not work, I bought 2 of them what a sucker I was, T want my money back
I bought this bird sipper because I [have a] bird bath in my yard and with the winter, I cannot use [it] since the water freezes. I will hang the bird sipper from my pergola and see the birdies drink fresh and not freezing water.
Tried over a two month period last winter. It did not attract any birds and our yard is a bird paradise. I moved it to different locations and still no luck. It seems to be a great idea but is hard to clean, the water will freeze, and appears to be too deep. I would not recommend buying it.
I've never seen a bird use this as shown in the photo. Birds don't seem to like having their feet flat; they would rather grasp a perch of some kind. I have seen squirrels use it. Oh, well, I guess they're people too.
Product concept is a good idea but I didn't notice birds using it - maybe because the water level was too low. I think the surface area for the water needs to be larger and maybe not as deep (maybe a shallow black dish that would melt the water - more like a traditional bird bath). Make it all black to absorb the light and heat the snow/ice in the sun. I piled snow on it a few times and it melted but it took a lot to fill up the reservoir and then I think the water became stagnant after a while so the birds didn't go for it.
