    My cat loved this video. He does not have thumbs or a yt account of his own, so I upvoted on his behalf.

    marrying a brief and efficient how-to to fifteen minutes of adorable animals giving their testimonials was a stroke of genius. I could sit and watch those little guys splash around all day.

    Finds out later that his porcelain bowl is from the Ming dynasty and is/was worth millions! Lol. Love the video. Now I’m shopping for a look alike. Thanks for posting!

      @christopherfeatherley Год назад +9

      From what I can tell, the bowl that he drilled isn't worth very much. The more expensive (valuable) porcelain China are those with unique detailing throughout, and not repetition 😅 He probably knew already hence why he drilled it

    This is the *best* small fountain build I have seen yet. It is exactly what I am looking for, and thanks to your demonstration, I think I can do it. Perfect size for a small yard with lots of birds. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and for showing us your very beautiful garden. My cats also enjoyed watching. 🇨🇦

    Lol, I like the previous comment about the cat! THIS project is the NICEST personally designed bird fountain idea I have ever seen on RUclips! It is clever, it uses blue and white, (my FAVORITE design element) and it fits into its environment perfectly. We all were even treated to a lovely extended video of the birds using the fountain!!!! Thank You SO much for posting. Now, I could try this myself if I could find the blue and white coy pot and the beautiful bowl also 😊!

  • @rr7firefly
    @rr7firefly Год назад +3

    I'm surprised that the porcelain doesn't crack. But I suppose that is a function of the special drill bit. yes?
    Bravo for making highly attractive versions of the bird bath. Great inspiration.

    I am just waiting for the components of a bird bath I am making after I had ordered one and they delivered the wrong one and then told me mine was no longer in stock. I just thought what the heck, I'll do my own. It won't be quite as beautiful as yours but I hope my birds appreciate it. It's videos like yours that just inspire others to try xx

    • @doityourselferhomeandgarde9732
      @doityourselferhomeandgarde9732  2 года назад +1

      Great idea!!
      There are so many ways to approach this style of fountain. I went to LA's Chinatown about a month ago and bought a really nicely decorated serving dish with about a three-inch rise on its edge that is the same diameter as the terra cotta saucer. After drilling out its center, I attached a very attractive egg-shaped vessel with painted carps jumping over lotus flowers. With a hole drilled at the top of egg-shaped vessel and the tubing from the pump running up into it, a single stream of water rises about four inches high and spills into the dish. The dish, that is filled with two-to-three-inch stones, spills the water over the edge and into the pot. The dish and the vessel are both blue and white glazed porcelain. I think it looks really nice. Now I have two fountain tops for this bird bath to interchange.
      Anyways, wish you luck in making your own bird bath. Enjoy and have fun!

And oh, WOW! That Raven man... huge! Partridges or Doves, the Squirrels, that Hummingbird so elusive lol :D and that one beautiful bird you slow mowed and those regular visitors of yours plus your bear looking doggo LOL.. I thought it was a young bear omg ha ha ha
