Hummingbirds Odd Behavior New to Me Never Seen Before at 5am in the Morning in Hummingbird Birdbath
I bought the dog water bowl and set it up on our deck, was so easy to do!!!
I love those birdbaths, but them and the power banks are a little too pricy for me right now. But, I have probably around 30 clay pots in various sizes that belonged to my grandmother. I am using 2 round clay pots that have baked in colors that swirl around the pots. I flipped them upside down and used a straw to go through the holes in the bottom of them like you did with that one, and the hummingbirds and other birds love them. Thank you! ❤😊😊❤
Sounds great! ❤

I love this clay pot idea! Re the batteries, I wrap mine in a old reflective car windshield cut up and stick it in plastic bag. Thanks Robbie!
This is amazing. Sharing. 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you so much!❤️
Thank you Robbie, I really appreciate your ideas! ⛲️ 😊
You are so welcome! ❤️Thanks
LOVE YOUR IDEAS! Thank you for posting :-)
I'm new but very inspired. I will check out previous posts. I have so many hummers but never pursued an attraction.
Thank you. I love being creative and love your ideas. I do a lot of repurposing and reusing of items for fun.
Robbie , just found you tonite and you're a HOOT!!
I'm definitely going to try this. I'm a big fan of hummers and in this crazy hot NE weather we've been having lately, they're going to enjoy this!
Thank you so much! 😊👍🐦 🐝
Welcome aboard! Your hummingbirds will love you. I get such joy each morning to watch them bathe as I have my coffee, of course they bathe all day, just usually too busy to sit and watch 😊 Thank you ❤️
I saw one on TikTok and I thought it was you. I'm so happy you made the video.
Beautiful idea love it❤ have a beautiful day Robbie
I love your channel. ❤👍
Thank you so much!
❤❤❤ lyour crafty mind! 😊
This is wonderful. I used my solar fountain setup but by adding the straw and pot it now keeps my birdbath full of water. It is very windy here in SE New Mexico. I still need to buy the pet fountain😮
Just when I thought you were done with hummingbird bath inventions...you come up with this cute little bath. Adorable! Thank you for sharing with us. I wanba go to Target right now but it's 9:15 pm. 😔
Your amazing! 😀
Thank you!!
Hi, how often do you clean bird baths?
Hi Robbie, Thank you for sharing all your fabulous ideas. Do you put any bird bath treatment so the water doesn't turn green so fast?
❤ great but why not to try to cut it longer ? It would be better for them to shower!❤
I ordered two of the pet waterers that you recommend from Walmart but after they reported it delivered and I didn’t get the package I reported it to Walmart. Hope I get it replaced or refund. Love the ideas and hummingbirds. Thanks
Walmart usually stands behind everything. Try to see if you can message them or have them call you and explain to them what happened from the buying site. Let me know how it goes.
OK I am trying this now, I tried solar 1 week no visitors lots at the feeders
thanks great movies,
Hi Robbie!
Hi Jackie ❤
I too love your ideas. You are so creative. I would like to know what kind of camera you use to capture footage of the birds that are attracted to your fountains.
I use my cell phone, and I also use the Sony camera
Hi Robbie ❤
Hi! ❤
If the bottom bowl was also a clay pot, the bottom clay pot would filter the water going to the pump. That is when the fountain is placed in a larger container, pond or water feature.
You could hold up the clay pot with 3 or 4 of those short slit straws that you attach to the rim of the pot 12:13
Hi Robbie, any suggestions for keeping bees away from the hummingbird feeders? I've fed hummingbirds for years and never had a bee problem until this year. I purchased bee guards and have them installed, but it doesn't seem to stop the bees from hanging out on the feeders. I clean them and fill them daily, so there isn't a lot of sticky residue. Any suggestions? Thank you and Gary for all the great videos. I really enjoy all of them!
When I lived in the country I had that problem. I went online and they said to make an artificial hornets nest and you hang it near by like under the eaves of your house. You just use a brown grocery bag and scrunch it up a little to make it look authentic. It worked for me. Just search on you tube.-Susan
Hello Robbie! 1st! 😂😂
Hi Debbie ❤
We don't have humming birds in the UK,,will it work for other birds and magpies ?
Hi Robbie. Thanks for posting this video. I saw that fountain in your video yesterday when you were trimming your zucchini plants. I took a screenshot of that fountain so I could hunt for that video if you had one and voila! You had it on today! So excited. Thank you. I love your various fountain ideas...❤🐦🛁::
So smart on the screen shot 😊 it was coming…and here it was today 😀 Thank you❤️
can you put the battery pak in plastic bag or tupperware container and just tape it UNDER the table you have it sitting on ...
They look cute. But I have an outdoor cat.
I’ve got a few hummingbirds but they haven’t taken to any of the fountains. I have one right by the feeder they visit.

Were did you git the red bowel

I wonder if the power bank being out in the heat of Florida will catch on fire. What do you think?
She’s in Southern California, so my guess is put it in the shade like she said.
Cover the power bank, you can even put it a box or container to shade it
I tend to use the power bank fountains in the shady areas of the garden and use the solar ones where it's sunny most of the day. It's a lot cooler in the shade, even here in south Texas. I keep the power banks in a Ziploc baggie...mainly to keep it dry from rain.
Mine says not to use it outside!
So does mine 😊
thanks!
My power banks died. They charge but won’t work. I’ve tried everything. This is the 50,000 ones.
Nothing I do works😂I never attract hummingbirds. And my sugar water gets filled with ants 🐜 😢
Don't give up, do you have an ant moat? And red tubular flowers help.
Keep checking the Internet to see about how to set up a feeder and where to locate it. Hummers like privacy.
I have the same problem because I live in a noisy area.
@@par4451 I just ordered some moats🥰
@@hah350 I moved my feeders we will see🥰
Your instructions are scattered and confused. Get rid of this part and keep that part etc.
No… she is just showing all you need is tank, pump, lid… the rest is optional and customizable. Then add a straw or tube. It’s actually super basic. Filters, nozzles,etc are not needed. Don’t get overwhelmed she is very creative and I must say I am blown away at how many birds come to her yard…her methods do work. 😊
don’t even understand what lady is talking about😢
Thanks Robbie..you’re an Angel on earth ❤😸
I found 5V USB water pumps $10 for 3 & now have to find containers to set them up..
Were did you git them
❤
❤️❤️❤️
I ordered a nice little solar fountain from TEMU for $3.49 to use off and on to attract butterflies and hummers. I have a nice birdbath I haven't used since we had mosquito issues and anything like that was banned for a while. I've had a plant sitting in it, so I figure when I'm working out in front I can replace the planter with the fountain to benefit the hummers and butterflies that come around. Hummers often drink from the hose while I'm watering.
TEMU steals art from artists. Terrible company to support
I use a stainless steel straw in mine, the one for a thick smothie. No animals have destroyed it so far.
Robbie I love ❤️ you, Gary, Zoe & the emmus & I look forward for your videos every day 🤗🦋 Orange is my favorite color!! Blessings 🙌🏻🦋🙏🏻
Thank you so much!❤️
Hi Robbie, thank you for all the heplful videos. How often and what do you clean the fountain with? I worry about algae mold etc. We live in hot humid area. Should I place in our pollinator flower bed that is in direct light ? We have feeders in that bed as well as in shaded areas THANK YOU !
Probably clean it like you would your own water bottle; weekly or every two at least or use filtered spring water
Hi Robbie, I love watching all your videos and getting tips from you. I live in MD & have a few hummers. Just love these beautiful little creatures.. I made your fountain and while making it my hummingbirds were so intrigued as to what that new sound was they literally hovered over me to see what was going on😂 Thx for all you do..❤️
I appreciate this DIY hummingbird water feeder. I love this cool idea and thank you for putting the links up for where you got the water feeder and charger thingee
They say put several in different areas as one bird will control the water if in one place you can buy solar for $10 or less
Robbie, I made one of these but took it down. Even in the sun and with changing the water, my pump and pot would get slimy and accumulate mold very quickly. I'm afraid the hummers would drink from it, get the mold on their tongues, and die. Is this a concern you have with all your solar pumps?
I know what you mean.... I don't have one of the pet fountains, but I made several of the solar and power bank fountains last year and they do tend to get algae in them. I think part of it is the climate. I live in the hot and humid south. I just have to clean them out more often. I give them a good rinse with the hose and a sponge or scrubby pad. If you need to, you can also use an old tooth brush to get into the little places. Even our regular bird baths need scrubbing once in a while. Good luck! 🐦🌼🌻🦋🌺
@Claudias-Coneflowers Thank you! I live in the Midwest, and we get tons of humidity here, too.
You are so creative, always coming up with something different.
Thank you so much 😊
I love your videos. They have inspired me to make a fountain with my 6 year old.
Haha I also appreciate your ‘it says it’s for indoor use’ advice 😊
I had the happiest time putting one of these together. But im in the south and water brings scary creatures. Maybe i can use it inside. I love the sound of a waterfall. Maybe? Thanks❤
Thanks for wonderful video, my dear friend
Wow, thanks for all the tips!
Happy to help! Thank you ❤️😊
I did not have any luck with the Hummingbirds coming to my fountain I made. Robbie, you are lucky they come to yours. I always enjoyed your Hummingbird videos, thank you for sharing.
Please be patient. They'll come so don't give up. Not sure of your zone but I have to put my hummer feeders out in March in 7B. They scout out as they fly by and will come back around to you remembering where you are. I put out bright plastic Dollar Tree flowers and even brighter flowered garden flags to attract them, Robbie is located in a prime location for all the hummingbirds she gets. I plant flowers just for them, the bees and my rarely seen butterflies. Make sure you put feeders out too. As it was put to me, we must be good stewards for our nature friends like the birds. I only have two but maybe they'll nest and get more.
I’ve run into a few issues since I started trying to get some sort of fountain/bubbler going. Initially, I tried using a 5 gal. pail with a foam ball, but the pump wasn’t strong enough to push the water up from the bottom of such a big pail.
Recently, I got a melamine bowl from Dollar Tree, put some of their colored glass gems in the bottom, around the pump, then put a terra cotta pot over it. It seemed to bubble just fine, but I noticed that the next day, water was outside the bowl on my balcony floor! I don’t understand what’s happening, because it’s not bubbling over the sides of the bowl that I can tell; when I put my hand near the water at the top of the pot, I can only feel a tiny “spit” now and then. 🤔🤔
Robbie I ordered five of those from Walmart online with the flower all I got was four flowers and no bowls. I have tried to reach out to Walmart and I've got no answers back. I've been watching you for years and love your fountains. I wanted to know if you have any suggestions on reaching out to Walmart? Your friend in Victorville
Well I noticed that you haven't answered my comment but I'm going to ask you where did you get those and if you can give me the exact information because I got burned by Walmart
How often do you have to clean that? Or do you have a way to make it not need cleaning? Like putting copper in the water to kill microorganisms?
Looked in description for size of clay pot. Can you please tell me the size? Thank you
you are so talented. thank you
Thank you
I have made a couple fountains, they are near plants as I know birds prefer that. Not one bird has used them. I do enjoy the decor they add to my flower gardens.
To give you some hope, it took a week or more before I saw a bird drink from my first pet fountain. I added a second fountain and it took a while before I saw a bird go to it. Maybe your neighborhood birds are just being cautious?
It can take awhile, or suddenly they surprise you. I have a daily flock of pigeons and doves who have come daily to have lunch (birdseed), and hang out around the "pools" of shallow containers of water I set out around my one birdbath, and then will all eventually take baths and preen for an hour or 2, then back for happy hour😂
What kind of fountains!? I would love ideas😊
@@PHanomaly I get a gang of 4 doves a few times a day too. They look so clumsy at the feeders…mostly due to their size I think. And they have poor eating habits - one of my feeders is a ceramic plate that came with the house (a tree grew through its hanging chains). The doves go to that feeder the most and discard empty shells into the plate instead of on the ground. I always know when the doves or the squirrels eat at the plate because of the amount of shells in it. 🤣
I basically copied most of Robbie’s ideas for my bird baths. Before buying the pet fountains, I used 2 plant saucers with solar pumps. One saucer was large but made of thin transparent plastic like most of the inexpensive plant saucers sold in gardening centers/big box stores. It was about 1” deep and cracked after a season. My other saucer is a thicker quality plastic that I bought from A-zon. It’s about 3” deep. I placed a few large rocks in the water for birds to judge its depth and/or jump on the rocks to get closer to the water. During the extreme heat and drought last summer, I even saw a few squirrels sipping from there.
Once I received the 2 pet fountains, I placed them at the same locations as the existing birdbaths. The pet fountain near the bird feeders is inside the plant saucer. I elevated it above the water in the saucer by placing it atop a plastic take-out container that I poked a bunch of holes into with a soldering iron. I also put smaller rocks in both pet fountains for the same reason as before. I don’t know if it matters, but my fountains get shade at different parts of the day. So they’re not blasted by the sun the entire day. Both fountains are about 3’ above the ground.
@@Robot_Cajun as I watched her video I kept trying to figure out what her point was. So, essentially, you buy pet fountains and use them as bird fountains ? Like I say, I don't have pumps in my water dishes, .. just cuz I never thought about it. But I love any water or light feature. I have a pre formed waterfall fountain from home Depot with a pump in my garden. But wondering can I just purchase the small solar pumps? I wasn't paying too much attention to all the extra stuff she was doing, so I would watch again, but seemed like a lot of hoopla for switching use of a product.
Hi folks❤ it’s bc
I Will get that fountain was it in wallmart? And it’s the small one?
Already had it, but they do have others❤
Hey Robbie, where do you buy those giant straws from? I live here in T.O. and live watching the antics of all the Hummers in my yard. But just made a solar fountain, but want to try making the fountain with the terra cotta flower pot. Love your videos. Have learned a lot from them.
I bought 3 of these hoping to draw in more hummingbirds and other birds but they are not interested in the fountain in the least. 😢Robbie! You are such an inspiration and you’re the best when it comes to birds and gardening. What am I doing wrong? I just love the birds! Love watching you guys! God Bless!
Perfect. This is a great way add humidity. I have a solar power battery bank
I love your ideas Robbie! You are amazing! Give Zoe hugs from me. 13:49
I am totally trying this. Love it. Thanks for the great video! 👍
Thank you so much ❤️
Is that a water proof cord
The cord is, but be sure the power bank and plug are in something, like a plastic bag, that is what I use here, the cord is plastic
Smart soldier 28
Love it. Learned alot.
You’re a genius Robbie! Love this!
Thank you!
What is the tool you use to make the holes in the white plate so it would not over flow ? , is it battery operated? Thank you very much for sharing your ideas i already have a cat fountain ( my 3 girls did not like it) so i can give it a good use
The tool is just a soldering iron, electrical plug in, so you do this while you are near an outlet.
@@karenpowell4626 Thank you for answer me , i will be looking for one 😊
Awesome ❤Ty.
You are so welcome 😊 Thanks
I found a solar charged power bank! I haven't tried it but it should have constant power.
Too much talking, geez
I have 2 of them going, but have never seen any birds use them. Even have never seen a Humming Bird use them. Not even in hot weather. But the El Cheapo Green bird Baths are a Big hit with the bigger birds for drinking and Bathing. with the solar water Pumps. They are even popular with the Deer who drink from them.
