Thanks to you, I have 5 fountain baths, 28 feeders, and a ton of resident hummingdudes.
OMG I LOVE IT ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️ Wait till you see the Next Fountain being Posted tomorrow, another Amazing Favorite ❤️ Thank You and I am sure all the birds Love you.
Thank you for loving and caring for these little critters. ❤ They bring so much joy.
Oh they do bring joy to the world… Thank you ❤️
Hey Robbie & thank you for sharing your fountain project with us 🥰🥰
I just love your bird garden
Thank you (I worked in the bird garden this morning before it got too hot and it was really nice and I moved a lot of things around) ❤ Thanks
That's FANTASTIC. I see those chip & dips all the time. That looks like SPIDER PLANT. U can cut those to suit ur needs wo any issues to the plant 👍
Thanks for the tip on the spider plant. It didn’t look happy outside so I ended up bringing it back in the house and putting in more of a succulent plant, again thank you. ❤
You are such a clever woman Robbie and you have so creative abilities ❤️❤️❤️
This is so cute and beautiful ❣️❣️❣️❣️
You are so creative! Thank you for teaching us all these tricks.
I love thrift stores that's where pretty much I buy everything I need or want they're a great place for a fraction of the store price and some places are to support charities which is great for a lot of us
I think the birds will soon come to it, its awesome and you showed you can make a fountain from just about anything, some rocks and water and one of those solar pumps and I love it!
About the momma and baby bird feeding. In Va we have Eastern Bluebirds and the cutest thing we saw was exactly the same thing of feeding the baby birds only it's the papa bluebird who feeds the baby from the mealworm bird feeder. IT IS SO CUTE! It gets really adorable when papa has a baby on each side trying to feed the very hungry babies one at a time. It's possible your baby bird was being fed by the papa too. Anyway, I love this video!
Thank you for being so thoughtful in sharing your ideas!!! Much love from Tx!!!! Will include as a weekend getaway project, hugz!!!
You are so welcome! ❤ Thank you
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me. Have a wonderful week.
❤ Thanks so much 😊
You are so creative! ❤
Thank you! 😊❤
We had a few mamas feeding their babies like this, too. Such a cute fountain.
That birdbath is so neat. The plant just sets it off.
I love goodwills and garage sales. Always have some ideas for it when I see something I can use for it.
Thank you for teaching me how to care for our hummingbirds ❤️
From the right amount of sugar , cleaning feeders and even water features!
Love this channel.
Hi Robbie and Gary. This is Bob. Hope you are having a great day today ❤
❤❤❤You are so very creative Robbie
Thank you! 😊 Just love making things
So fun! Loved watching momma feeding her baby. I bet if you just put a nut on the end of your screw you could tighten the hat down well to help secure it better for the birds and in case a wind comes up. 😊
That is very true, I did this quick and the screw is holding well; But thanks so much as that is good point. ❤
Love all of your bird bath 🛁 and the feeders. 😊😊❤
Thanks so much 😊
Too fabulous. Always learning from you. Thx.
The hat you got, very rare to find one like it. Cute
Love it and your great tutorial on where to start with recycled materials.
Thank you. I like all your birdbath project. I am ordering a few varieties of solar fountains like you made and can't wait to start a project.
Love your DIY... so many ideas
Robbie, my Tucson, Arizona birds would love and appreciate that Sombrero fountain! Too cute, I'm shopping for hats! Thanks for the great idea.
It turned out nicer than I thought, and the house finches Love it. And the poor hummingbirds can barely get near any of the fountains on my deck right now. So the hummingbirds feed in the windows right now, and then takeoff to the garden looking for water there. ❤ Stay cool! Thanks ❤
Thank you for sharing these ideas with us.
You are so welcome!❤😊 Thank you
So cute 🐦 👒 💦
Great Idea and I bet all the birds love it 🥰
I thought it was an actual hat, but I guess it would get ruined by all the water.
Might try something like this for next summer.
So awesome 😁 I thought it was a real hat lol but I really Love it!! I happen to have a dish pan just like that. It may be a little bigger,and I’m excepting my solar fountain this week and I may use the dish pan in a huge pot we’ll see. Thank you for sharing all your great ideas!!!😁🥰🙏🏻🪴
The thing about it is, you tried! How would you ever know if it would work out or not! If you didn’t try ! Great job Robbie! I think it’s kinda awesome!
Hi Robbie and Gary, I love how you show us different ways to make water fountains and I was wondering if you have considered having a giveaway of the kits that you show us?
I would love to do a giveaway, I don’t know how to start one up or what you do to do it, I’ll have to look into it 😊 Thanks
Instead of a screw or nail to hold down, I would use a zip tie. When you go to clean it, you just snip it off and insert a new one when it’s clean.
Keep up the good work👍
Keep those ideas coming
I Love It Robbie! It's soo cute!
Thank you! 😊
Really love that hat! I dont know how you think of these things..totally awesome!
I loved the top of the hat, the shape and decided to go for it 😊 Thanks ❤️
I made a fountain today. I used the solar disc in water kind. (it was all I could find a a hardware store) I'll have to order the kind you use for my next one. I soldered a hole in a little plastic ball and put a staw coming up so the water could bubble up gently. I just used a plastc flower pot for the water. Hopefully my hummingbird find it soon.
Thank you for your video 🎉😂❤
You're welcome 😊 Thank You
Very cute
I love this
that's a good idea having holes only on 1 side. makes a shallow spot to stand in.
That is so cool Robbie 🥰🥰
I love it
We'll all be off to dollar store looking for chip and dip bowls
That have nice ones for a dollar twenty five ❤
I love it! 😊
❤ Thank you!
I used zip ties to stabilize a cup on one of your ideas for the cup fountain.
I haven't found the jumbo straws yet. I have looked at Walmart, Dollar Tree, and Dollar General and other places so far. Love watching your program!!
Try a party store, Walmart has them on line.
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy Thank you so much for the information, and keep on taking care of your little hummingbirds!!
I like ve this idea. Once you leave they will come.put fish init
LOL ❤ Thanks
That is so cute! I need to go shopping with you at that .99 store because I seen some corningware there that I want lol. Thank you for the raw footage video! You should do more of them because it would save you time editing them. 😊❤❤😊
That is so true, I almost went live doing this, but Gary got stuck up a tree…. Let’s just say he lost the ladder from under him, Long Story ❤😂
@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy Oh no! Tell Gary I tried not laugh, but I could just picture him in the tree, dreading hollowering at you to come help 🤣🤣🤣
@@jwater63 he was, I had to climb thur the plants get that BIG ladder, and get it back up in place so he could get down, (I told him I was gonna call the fire department he threatened to jump ); by the time I got back up to the deck I was so tired and just recorded myself putting it together 🤨 😅
Make holes and secure with zip ties,and put silicon on the holes.
HERE HI ROBBIE 👋
❤ Hi Melinda
❤
September 23rd look to the heavens
Think I would put a couple more rocks maybe
I was thinking of making a stainless steel shallow tray and seal the corners water tight. Do you ever have to use silicone or other sealer for cracks? I don’t want to use anything that would hurt the hummingbirds. I love all the ones I’ve seen you make. Thanks for sharing!
Wish I had a deck😢
But you can even do this on a little patio or a little special space ❤
Dang! I saw one of those but they wanted way too much for it!
The one I saw was ceramic.
I saw the ceramic ones online and are really expensive, and yet this is the first one I’ve seen and it was in Plastic 😊
Great idea. Would it work to put the straw in the pump and cut the excess straw from the top instead?
Robbie thanks so much for these videos. I have hummers visiting our coral honeysuckle on our deck but they’re not going to the new fountain I made for them. Is there an ideal height I should place the fountain?
Robbie, this is beautiful! May I ask what is the purpose of the burger tray? Thought maybe for an issue with container. Just inquiring in case I run into same issue. Thanks!
This is a chip and dip tray, and it’s oblong so it doesn’t fit really good on a bucket or something square. But it worked; unless you’re talking about something else and I am not sure what a burger tray is?
The one you put in upside down in there,it’s so the birds have a place to sit and it’s not to deep. That’s what I’m thinking 🤔
I didnt see the kind of solar kits you buy.

😊
I have had a bird bath followed your instructions and I have know birds coming to it, what am i doing wrong I know and one of your videos said it takes time for the birds to get used to it, but I have waited well over a month. What am I doing wrong please help.
I’d worry the baby birds might fall in…
I love it
