    I've recently been in a bit of slump emotionally lately so I decided to buy 3 hummingbird feeders and a multi tier bird feeder.

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!

    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...

    • @gingereaves4097
      @gingereaves4097 Год назад +4

      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!

    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.

    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!!

    I like watching you create the solar water fountains for your birds. I bought one to do the same thing as you. Then i had the idea to use an additional solar water fountain to feed into the drip tape for my 4"x8" raised bed. It works! On a sunny day I can empty an 18 gallon tote onto my bed in 6 hours. Nice gentle drips every 6" on the drip tape. Then I can move the empty tote to water the next bed the following day. The solar panel is so movable, and I do not have to stand there and water for hours.

    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!

Then just stick the solar pump in the bucket or whatever vessel I use 😊 That way I don't need to really fuss with cutting the plate

You bring joy to countless birds and humans. I bought a good sized dog water rubber bowl. My little dog uses it as well as the squirrels and birds. I am going to make this for the little birds. Bless you. Mary

    Debby Downer here: I would recommend using a drill instead of a soldering iron to avoid breathing in the plastic fumes which cause COPD. Plus the birds will be ingesting some plastic as well with this method. But I have to say I do love your enthusiasm and creativity and love for nature. That is very sweet. Nice backyard view also btw!!! I am so jeally! 😁🏩
