- Morning Coffee and thoughts on setting up purchased and making fun bird fountains and birdbath with buckets, bowls and changing electric fountains to solar fountain. The 101 thoughts on getting ready to set up all kinds of bird baths, as bird look beautiful in the garden, but they also greatly control the insects in your vegetable garden too. Some want to just drink where other birds want to hang out and bathe as well. So much more to start to come very soon, with very surprising ideas on how I am now creating fun great water features in the garden.

I get all my Solar Fountain Kits from Ebay, BECAUSE I earn "ebay bucks" extra money on each and every purchase I do on my account, and if you sign up on Ebay for ebay bucks, there are days they give 5-10% back in ebay bucks, to spend on ebay, Which I end up getting More Pumps. Thanks, Robbie
Here is something for you,...I enjoy your gardening and hummingbird video's,...have you made a swing for the hummingbirds,...take a piece of baying wire about 12 inches long and make a hoop on on end and on the other end make a 90degree bend about 2 inches long and you have a swing for the hummingbirds,...we have one and one hummingbird has been swinging on it for two years,...the same one seems to swing on it,...my wife calls him squeaky,...it is so much fun watching him set on the swing and swing back in forth,...we enjoy him so much,...and we are trying the fountains for the hummingbirds that you have been showing,...thank you so much
At the beginning of this video, there's even a bee drinking from the fountain. What a wonderful thing!
I’ve been collecting items for awhile and now it’s time to sit down and do it. I am soon to be 72, I do have memory issues so I have to save all your wonderful ideas. I just found this one today which is wonderful. So many ideas and I’m excited to start. I live in Southern Georgia, we don’t have all different kinds of hummingbirds but since we have 37 acres I’m hoping to attract them more than 2 or 3 at a time. I’m continuing to look up your videos to help me. Thank you so very much.
I love this video even though it’s three years later ❤️
Robbie, I don't mind long videos. I learn from you with every video, so just keep them coming!!!
I love birds too, and several years ago I came up with the idea to make a birdbath for them. I’d actually found a large terracotta like drainage
“Pipe,” on the property, which btw can be purchased at the homeowner, supply store. I dug out a hole to soften the ground up, set it down in it then firmed the soil down and around it, making it stable. Next I used an aluminum garbage can lid, turning it upside down, placed a rock inside next to the edge. Some days I have seen 6,7, birds in it just having a blast bathing and chattering away like a group of teenage girls. I place cool, clean water in it every day. I clean it one every other day because yes, they will go to the bathroom in it. It’s so relaxing and sometimes funny watching them.

Thanks so much Robbie and Gary. Robbie you are an inspiration. So many great ideas! 🦜❤️❤️🦜
Thanks so much!
I gave a bath to my first hummingbird bird today. thank you for your videos🧚♂️
I just want to say, last summer I started watching you guys! I'm now coming up with so many cool fountain ideas it's an obsession! It's really amazing how much the wildlife flock to my yard now. My neighbor even told me I " stole " her cardinals. Lol. I'm making a habit though, not just throwing food out! Love you guys!
i realize I'm quite randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to stream new tv shows online?
@Diego Trace Flixportal :)
@Jerome Uriah thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) Appreciate it !
@Diego Trace happy to help :)

I am determined to make one with my grandkids this summer. I'm so excited to have a project to share. Thank you so much!
glad to see squirrels eating sunflower seeds... love them! 👩🏻❤️🐿️
I"ve been watching you a while. I feed bird's and everything else! All I have is a patio, but that's OK. Plants and flowers. I need to help the humming bird!! Food and water fountain, can't wait♥ Your not talking to much, I'm loving this♥
Linda
I'm so excited to make some solar fountains. My husband and I are bird watchers and feed hummingbirds and seed eating birds every day. I live in northern California. We get the Orioles every summer also. Anyway, thanks for all the great information. 😊👍
Thank you for doing God's work
Thanks , Robbie. I’m glad you show what is working and what isn’t and why. It helps me decide what I would like to setup. Can’t wait to try one. Looking forward to the full solar fountain video. You are a good teacher. Personally, I prefer the longer video and I hope you don’t mind doing them often. Thank you for sharing. Blessings
I just love watching your birds!
thank you..can't wait for the hummingbirds..
Found it at a thrift store...I threw myself on it and called Dear Hubbs! 🤣😍 subbed
You are my God send, I always loved fountains - didn’t know HOW TO ! Been looking at old fashioned - didn’t make one yet - NOW they aaaare coming in my yard !!!!!
Love the solar fountain vids we think alike, it all inspires me 👍👍love the hummingbirds and all the critters 🐦🐞🌷
I always look forward to all your ideas and shared experiences when it comes to birds and gardens too!!💕💕🥰💕💕
And hopefully much more to come, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, Robbie
Rocks in a bowl😂. First solar pump arrived yesterday. Now I need the perfect bowl and some rocks.
Your gardens are so great. I have wrens that I love so much I have catered to them. I have recently had a terrible dispute with my neighbors who don’t like my yard with buckets and containers all over. It is awful they don’t know how wonderful my gardens are. The birds love me...
Maybe share some of your harvest and let them tell you how much they enjoy your garden 😉
I love birds! And I Love your platform!! Ty!!
I just ordered mine. I can't wait to get it! Thanks for doing videos!
Oh I am so ordering a pump kit. So peaceful with the birds singing and the water trickling.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing! 🌺. Butterflies and hummingbirds love color!!! Purple and blues! Your excitement is wonderful!!! 🌼🪴🌷🌸
Wow what an absolutely beautiful video, Some great ideas here for my nature garden, thank you so much,,awesome, so lovely
Love it!! 🥰What a sanctuary!! Thank you again for sharing your knowledge!
In one of your solar powered hummingbird baths you mentioned using a Solar Pack to make sure the fountain worked even when it’s cloudy. Can you share more about what you look for in a solar pack? Thanks!
Thanks for all the tips!! I’m just starting out with my first two solar fountains this spring and appreciate all the information 🥰🥰
love this ..one of my favorite vids... i ordered 5 of them . love them...
thank you so much ... for all your Great ideas..
I’ve caught the bug! I made my first one after seeing your chip & dip version. I’ve got 3 more pumps waiting for me to get organized for more! I love your channel.
Great job! Yes, once you set them up you just want to keep going, so fun!
Where do I get the solar fountain
@@theresaconaway5609 click on the title of this video and she gives you the link where to buy
@@aspenriverrun thanks
Can't believe how many birds u get & all your clever fountains & feeders ☺👏😁You are so informative & positive each & every post..thank you Robbie ❤💜💚🐦🐦
I enjoy your enthusiasm!
Thanks for all your help on the bird baths, I have made one today, love it, and will be making more.
Such am interesting video today! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Have a wonderful day.
So true water is life for the birds it’s so wonderful and on a naturalist spiritual level when they visit they send out the abundance in the world and tell everybody else that your garden is so abundant! Love love love your sweet videos I am in the northern part of Southern California and it’s fun to see what you’re doing thanks for the videos I specially love love love all your hummingbird feeder’s
Your ideas are working well here in Tennessee Thanks 🧡
Just awesome
Watched one of your videos how to repair fountain. It worked. Thank you ❤
Love your enthusiasm!!
I just discover your channel. So much helpful information on fountains! I’ve been an advocate of providing running water to bring birds to your yard, but I’ve been limited by proximity to an outlet. I’ve tried solar but had problems - too much shade at my wooded lot and small spray holes clogging up. Your elevated solar panels may help with my shade issues and your tip in another video about enlarging spray holes will probably solve my clogging issues. Thank you! Love your enthusiasm too :-)
Beautiful 🐦🐦🐦
Thanks Robbie!! I just ordered 1 using your link.
Thanks for sharing.
I have one solar fountain floating around now and I have two more with the separate panels to put together. I'm excited. All of mine cost around $9 each.
no no I want more you have great 👍I ordered the large one from the other day and yes received it yesterday
Thank you for sharing. I purchased my house from Lowes, 7.85 6ft
I love your water bath for the birds
I'm in Las Vegas and I have problems with pigeons omg😣😖. Don't think they get2 our hummingbird feeder but so cute little baby finches, aww. Finding it difficult if not impossible 2feed birdies here without 20-30pigeons showing up...pooping everywhere. 🤔 My cats luv me...my bf hates me...pigeons pooping on his bbq smoker. 🙈I hate cleaning/rinsing off patio. Google I guess. Just wanna feed birdies...not pigeons😖😑😘 thanku awesome Robbie/Gary youtube channel😍🤗🌱 happy spring
LOVE THIS
I love your fountains. You started me gardening using containers. Now I've ordered my first two fountains to try. Your excitement is additive.
Me...
That was fun!! I am going to start my first butterfly garden this spring and want to include fountain for birds. We have a wooded area on our property but no water source. Thank you for sharing.
You are a gem!! 😊
Love it! ❤️ My favorite part of your channel.
BUT you should grow something too, like maybe some fun herbs, THANKS SO SO VERY MUCH, Take care, Robbie
You rock I love and understand how cool to just use and make things beautiful to you from things you got!! I do have an electric one but I also dig solar panels for lights . I was having issues with a light but watching your video I think you solved nit!!! Much love you make me excited!!!hahahaha
As always, so informative!! I love your voice, very pleasant to listen to, and also your enthusiasm is contagious!! Because of your videos, I have started composting, I have made a fountain out of plastic bowls, 3 different sizes from the dollar tree and heavy plastic cups to place in between each bowl and made a 3-tier fountain!! I don't have a soldering iron so I used my wood burning iron to make the holes for the tubing, works great!! Thank you for all the wonderful ideas and sharing your knowledge about gardening!!
Thank you for the info.🙂
Love love your fountains, each one...I am making them too. I have a hanging basket one and the plastic oblong feeder that the squirrels can't climb in .... I just love love my little friends 💓 they are just adorable ❤
Thk you for all your info...
You are a blessing....
Such a awesome simple down to earth video hi from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you 😊 Robbie for this Wonderful Helpful Info
Your enthusiasm is contagious! I just got my first solar pump last week and LOVED trying to figure out how to do my first fountain (vs. 1.0 and 1.2). Then I had to come out of state for family things, and I actually ordered a 2nd one because I didn't bring my stuff with me and really want to keep playing with it!! :D
How nice even the bees drink out of the fountain.
Please, please we need a vid on how to make the ball fountain. Thank you so much!
She has already made one on it... I watched it just recently. Great video! Go back through her channel videos and you should find it. :-)
Thks for your 💡 ideas..
You're the best!!!☺
Thank you for sharing
Thanck u soo much for the video robbie Alem from australia 🥰🌺🌸
If you're going to "buy USA" where do you think the panels are made? Typically China. I bought a solar fountain for about $15 two summers ago and I love it. The first season it worked GREAT out of the box. Suddenly one day I came home and it wasn't pumping the water. I thought it busted. I took it out and then tried it again 2 days later and it worked again. So please if you get one, and it works and then suddenly stops, please check it to make sure the pump isn't clogged and whatnot and try a different day. I have mine in a terra cotta fountain that I built last year. I put a few rocks around it to keep it centered AND do NOT apply the spigots so that it doesn't fly up and out of the bowl with a bit of wind. I have to fill it up at least once a day on hot sunny days. I have bought a solar one that is just the submersible pump and the solar part will be on the ground. Awaiting my shipment. :)
I love it!! Sherry from Charleston, sc
I love your channel, I'm so excited building all kind of fountains.
You are awesome!
Big thank you!
How me
Keep up the good work n your long videos are my faves and keeping me entertained.
I want to learn everything u have to share. Your very fortunate that you live in Southern California. You have beautiful wearing most of the time n lots of hummingbirds n other birds. I live in the central part of Florida on the west coast n not many hummingbirds but I have seen one but that’s another story. We have birds like mockingbirds blue jays or called Florida scrub jay ur good old crows sparrows n maybe a few others but nothing like the beauty you have in California. I love fountains n want to make them for all birds cuz I love watching them.
So give it to me all ur knowledge on making fountains n dolor pumps
♥️♥️😊👍
Beautiful! 👏👏👏🥰
Thank you! 😊
Hey Robbie......I recently subscribed to your channel and I'm loving it. I've loved birds all my life.....and I just love your enthusiasm. You seem to have such great ideas. Right now I have 4 bird baths in our yard.....but none of them have a fountain on them. I"ll have to look at some of your videos and figure something out. Thanks so much for all the work you do. Love and blessings my friend. Keep the videos coming!!!!!!!!
Thx Im gonna try one!!!
Thank you so much for the videos and I love watching. I have so many ideas after watching your videos. I have a bucket and a stump and some bowls and rocks. Looking forward to working on it. I even went to Harbor Freight and got a soldering iron . We have great thrift stores here to get bowls cheap. I ordered my solar panel and am going to go on ebay and look for more. I live in Mississippi and we have lots of hummers and birds.
I absolutely LOVE ❤ your wild looking bird garden and all of the solar fountains. Since I started watching you over the past few years, I've made quite a few unique solar fountains and I thank you! I know you probably don't want to show in detail each fountain you have but it would be awesome if you could walk through and zoom in and show details so we can get more ideas. What is the blue one you show towards the end of this video?
Thank you so much I learned a lot from you 💕
You are so welcome!
Thx Robbie Awesome video 👍
I like your videos long I’m learning something...
can’t wait to see the cement one and the bee one
Love this. I’d watch videos on fountains for specific birds. I’ll be in the desert soon. Very interesting in your solar fountains. I’m going to try to make the cement ball one ! I love the look of it.
That one was fun to make, I already made another one, take care!
You have me so inspired!! I never knew that the bees did not like splash. I am allergic so I can't have the bees and they take over my birdbaths. I also have a problem that the hose shades the back witch is my prefered bird watching area so I'm going to have to play with the panels. Anytime you want to move your stuff to my yard... ;)

Bees are absolutely needed and beneficial, because they are pollinators, as are hummingbirds.
Please have one specifically for them, if possible. Bees are The Reason we have Vegetables and Fruits available to buy at your local store.
I LOVE your videos. Your gsult...now making sugar water is added to my farm duties@😊
Wonderful!
Thank you Robbie. Bought my first pump and making adjustments. Rewatching your bird bath videos. Thank you for your many ideas.
love your videos- you have inspired me to try this!
You should! AND a new Video on Solar Fountain Kits going up here on our channel today, with a dozen+ fountains I do, Thanks so much 😊
Just did my first diy with electric pump.
Ordered solar one from Amazon should coming soon.
Nice scrub jay @ 3:50 I sometimes hear them, but rarely see them.
I did it too. This is what I used Woodglut designs for
Gosh I’ve got a lot to learn, so far my bird and squirrel habitat is doing great 👍
@@bethmccracken4641 I would recommend Woodglut to every beginner and not only 😋
Love your story of how you discovered solar fountains, I just learning about them now. You said that you took an electric one and made it into a solar fountain, can you show us how you converted it please. I have a small table top, three tiered one that is electric, but I want to convert it into solar. Thank you from Alberta, Canada. I love your videos, they are so motivating for me! Thank you again.
Bees need to drink too!
Yes
You can clean or fix your solar panels. Spray them with clear shellac and they will be almost as good as new again. 😊
Your ideas are great! I met your channel because hummingbirds, but since a while I search for ideas for something (like how to attract birds) youtube redirects me here :D .
My mom always had a dish in her garden where the birds can drink and wash themselves, but now her moves the dish to her front yard and them don't drink so much there. I think in those fountains, they are pretty and it seems the moving water attracts more the birds (and maybe our puppy don't drink there, that was the main reason of moving the dish).
Your channel is super! Thanks for share all your project with us!! regards from chile!
The missus was asking me about installing fountains in the 2 new bird baths that we just picked up .. I had to tell her "No, we're just going to put some rocks in these, so the bees can get water, too" .. but We really do need some more water sources for our wildlife .. I just had to prioritize! Pretty goldfinch you caught on camera @2:00 .. I want to see more of them in our yard :) The Blue jays that we have visiting are Northeastern Blue jays (little crests on the head) .. I have a love/hate relationship with them - they are so territorial that they can chase off other species, so the bird houses that I'm building are too small to accommodate them .. but they are one of a handful of species that will actually control the grasshopper population, so I don't want to ostracize them completely. There is a LOT of ground to cover on this topic, and a lot of discussion we can all get into - attracting wildlife, how, and WHY we want certain species to be in our gardens. Ok, I'm a grown man, gushing .. I need to stop ;)
I love solar water pumps
I enjoyed your video I will see hummingbirds April 1 look forward too seeing them.
I have more coming on hummingbirds too, and we have a nest on our house again, so fun, thanks, Robbie
I have a plastic flower pot that I never drilled holes in, 18 inches high, 12 inch diameter, bright turquoise. Now I'm setting up a plate, some rocks and a stand. Water lasts for days.
