    Please remember you'll need to clean your bucket and replace all the water every 2-3 days, otherwise harmful bacteria can grow quit quickly and this can make these little birds quit sick and even kill them.

    Neat, I remember about 25 years ago on one Hot July day while watering flowers with a water hose just using a fine spray--a hummingbird who must have been really hot flew into the path of the spray and just hovered there, you could tell that he was really enjoying his cool-off bath...

      Love this, and it reminded me of something similar about 20 years ago not long after I bought my house. I was watering my lawn where I had had new sod and I saw 4-5 bluebirds bathing in the puddles on the sidewalk. Silly me, I started talking to them, and they tilted their heads as if they were listening. I just made a similar fountain a week ago, but I have not seen any hummingbirds or any birds using it yet. I have seen a couple of birds (not sure what kind) eating bird seeds from my feeder that is about 20 feet away.

    Robbie! Who else has your knack for knowing what the birds need? I would have NEVER thought of scoring the cap! You are a natural at this and thank goodness we have you ❤️ I've posted before that this is my first year planting a vegetable garden and it's colorful containers only. I'm 66 and I have so many containers in my two long driveways on each side of my little homestead, that my car barely fits in the driveway now! The other day I did the lasagna method and planted 18 plants in their containers even though the last two hours poured rain down on me, I was thrilled I got it done. I'm determined to grow my own vegetables and fruit from here on out. I'm in Washington state and I've got some fruit trees and Berry bushes at home AND I'm finding out there are fruits we would grow in So. Cal that I can grow here too. This is a full time job learning from you experts AND doing the work to get growing on time, or starting early in the home. I really am forever grateful. And.... I'm a big bird feeder and this fountain will be so fun to make!

The other is bronze dishes with river stones creating a relaxing spa ambiance. Only problem is they require an outlet. Very impractical for a table decoration. These pumps are PERFECT!

    Quick suggestion: if you put the holes a bit higher on the plate curve (edges), more water will accumulate on the plate before draining back down. This way the water can be a bit deeper for the other types of birds. Nevertheless, you came up with a phenomenal idea!

      I never expected to live anywhere that hummingbirds live - they seemed so exotic when I was a child, and I was very surprised to find that ruby-throated hummingbirds are migratory and live for about half the year in North Carolina, where I now live. ..... They are very entertaining to watch, and will fight over the feeders that we put out for them - for a bird that isn't much bigger than a bee, they are _very_ agressive. They will also buzz around my head when I am outside in the yard.

    Since I've "discovered" you, and your TH-cam channel, Robbie, i've considered you, "my new, best friend".
    That's not an exaggeration, Robbie - - that's the truth!
    This morning, I was feeling the need for something uplifting, so I chose your channel because I have an empty soda fountain bottle that I'd love to use to make my very first bird bath.
    As soon as my video started, I felt better. Can't wait to make this birdbath and many others as gifts to my loved ones.
    I've been praying for you as we Remember, your precious Kitty. 🐾

    You are a wonderful person. I enjoy your videos so much. My dad would get up every winter morning and microwave the hummingbird feeder BEFORE he took his pills or anything. The hummer would be waiting.
    I'm going to use your ideas to make a hummingbird feeder swim area in his memory.

    Yesterday, as I was spraying the Bird bath clean, a Hummingbird tried to get into the water stream- it was too strong, but when I switched it to shower he disappeared. We are having long weeks of temps over 100 here, so I wanted to help the little guys, too. I have a pump in a vase/fountain I don't use- I can't wait to get the rest of the stuff and make one!
    Thank you for the video! Few things in life are as amazing as Hummingbirds (especially if you've ever had them perch on your hand), and you are helping them!

    • @RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy
      @RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    What a wonderfully CLEVER IDEA!!!!!! I love to make my avian neighbors and visitors happy, hydrated and safe!!!!! I've read that supplying water and bird baths are far more important than food! I have several bird baths of differing depths... especially after seeing a hawk once trying to take a bath! The oddest bird bath visitor that I ever had was an ibis!!! And grackles!!! OMG!!!! They soak their sunflower seeds in it, bathe in it, and drink... I clean and refill my bird bath multiple times a day during birding seasons! Thank you for this wonderful video.... I'm off to order a solar pump right NOW!!!!

    I so appreciate your thoughtful projects! Love how you purposefully attract birds to your garden. We have MANY sparrows in our backyard. They love to party here (I think they invite the whole block) I think what really struck me the most (a different fountain you made that I watched yesterday ) is a comment you made about the fountains enticing pollinators. Since I am also into gardening and watch your hints on a regular basis, I was intrigued. Ordered the parts yesterday after hearing that!!
