I love your ideas. They are so affordable for someone like me, living on a fixed income. I'm not exactly artistic, but I am successful using your ideas! Thank you!
😁 she's so animated it was fun seeing how excited she was about a chip and dip tray upcycled to a birdbath. Lol, just when I thought the video was over. It wasn't. 🤣😄🤣
I have them fly right up to my sliding glass door, hover, and stare in at me on occasion even when their food is fresh! My feeders are out on my second floor apartment balcony. One day a neighbor swore that a couple of them swooped down to where they were sitting outside and stared at them because MY feeder was empty! I had already refilled or did it right away, can’t recall. They are so entertaining and we feed one species year round in western Washington.
Cute & inexpensive idea. Funny how you said they were waiting for you to move away so they could get to it. I love how you get so excited !! I enjoy your videos !! 🐦 🦋
Hi! I'm viewing this again this year and I so, want to do this, this year!! We have moved, and I have room for lots of yard features! I have indoor birds as well and I'd love to fix something like this, but smaller, for them too. I've been feeling bad, and when I watch you, I catch myself smiling, and I have more ambition to get up and do things. Thanks so much!!😍
I just think it’s so neat that you guys do all of this for the hummers and small birds. And you have lots of natural plantings in addition to your nectar stations near the water and the natural plantings. It takes lots of dedication to do all this.

You are the reason why I even have humming birds! Four Years back when I first seen all your videos you inspired me! Now I have a Humming Bird Garden and get plenty of visitors, all thanks to you! I love this Hobby and everyone around me ask how i do it! I most of times send them your youtube Videos, Thank you so much!
I love this idea and ordered some water pumps from Amazon. But evidently I didn't order the correct pumping power as waster pumps up about an inch in the tubing, no more. Could you be more specific about what to order.
Hello, Thank you for this video. It is past 8PM, I am watching with the lights off. Yet, my living room seemed to light up with your shining enthusiasm. Please, do not lose it.
I've been wanting to do a birdbath to add to my flowers on my small condo patio! Love this tutorial, thank you! I'm going to wrap rope around the bucket to make it more stylish, lol.
Good idea! Maybe a tall basket (or wicker trash can same size/little bigger than bucket) would be less labor intensive. (!) But yeah, the bucket isn't the best garden look... however i suppose we could plant a ring of tallish flowers around it when we decide on final position. Also worth noting, the whole thing could be up higher, so cats dont get any ideas that the snack bar's open.
Thank you for your happy video's, my cat Grayson has been missing since May 18th and the coyotes population has increased since the light rail construction tearing out houses and the greenbelt along freeway and is heading north out of Seattle into my town Shoreline two blocks away. It's made all critters disperse to our homes and I just pray they didn't get my boy. Your video's get my mind off him just a little bit.

Thank you Robbie. I'm happy to have found you. I have a crow who comes daily for me to feed him on my wall. I named him Henry, n he has to side kicks 2 white doves. So when I hear them (I know hes close. I'm going to make the fountain tommorrow. Your an inspiration. Where we go 1 we go all.
Thank you for these simple and affordable DIY bird baths! Looking forward to making it, and attracting more of our feathered friends:) So lovely to see and read about others who care for nature.
Fantastic!!!! I love my birds, got my humming bird feeders cranking and now wanted to make a small easy bird bath and this is perfect!!! Thank you so much for making this!! We have a few chip n dip trays we don't use!! Your very crafty!! Love it!!!
You are so much fun to watch and I learn every time I watch your videos. Thank you for your positive attitude, your love of nature, and most of all your excellent ideas!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas! I’ve always have fed the birds but know I’m learning to give them safe water fountains ❤️. I enjoy your channel and you very much 😃
You just made my day when I found your videos! I have been so depressed. Isolated due to Covid-19. Now I can do something to take my mind off the evils of this world!
@@aprilgraham4490 I had the television disconnected before Covid 19. God showed me demons coming out of the television set. So called and told the man, "I want to disconnect and no longer use DirecTV." He said, "Why?" I replied, "Because God told me to and there is nothing but pure filth on the television shows." He agreed with me and disconnected it. I watch You Tube videos and J D Farag's ministry website preaching. I also watch videos like yours. I have hummingbirds now!
Just a hint if my grandfather had been watching this one of the things he taught us and would fuss if he saw us doing it is pull your plug out by the plug don't hold onto the cord and jiggled the plug out. It causes the wires to break inside and then you don't get any electricity coming from the plug up into whatever the plugs connected to lamp I think the sweeper used to be the one that he would be upset about or the toaster. I noticed when you were unplugging your soldering iron it appeared on the film that you were pulling it out more by the chords and buy the plug itself. Might have been the angle of the camera so I apologize if I was wrong. I love your videos and I just had to re-subscribe because my RUclips got messed up by my son
Robbie - we are kindred spirits. The hummingbirds are my special friends too. They come to me and want me to put the water hose down so they can drink and take a bath. I have them fly up to my face and then they motion down to the hose letting me know what they are looking for. So I want to build them a bird bath and my mom is sending me a hummingbird feeder for my birthday. Now I can make them a special bird bath as opposed to buying one. I am going to add a bunch of nice smooth rocks and make it look it like a natural setting. Such a great video, thank you.
Those birds will love that so much, as they trust you, so they will be watching to see what you are putting out for them, THEY KNOW. Thank you, take care, Robbie
Boy, that little hummingbird was enjoying that sprinkler. If I didn't have cats I would so get one of those solar pumps for the birds in the yard. Thanks for showing your fun idea!
If you can get the bath up high enough, there will be much less issues with cats. Keep an eye on them and make adjustments as needed. Lots of perches in bushes near -- but not right next to -- the bath gives them a safe feeling and also gives them a spot to wait, out of view, for their turn in the water. I'm tryna come up with a way to do a hanging birdbath with pump recirculating water, somehow, for the very reason you bring up.
These would make an awesome gift for anyone. Just thinking what a blessing it would be for a nursing home or senior neighbor . Thank You for sharing. ❤ God Bless
I just moved to socal! Planning on filling my yard with hummingbird feeders and especially outside the kitchen sink window to make washing dishes a little more pleasant.
There's a trick that a guy in Tucson figured out to help chickens survive our heatwaves. You see, the chickens don't like to get IN to the bird baths to stay cool. So he found that if he put bricks in the bottom and filled up the water levels so that it was up toward the top, but not covering the bricks, the birds would sit on the bricks. The water can wick up through the masonry and keep the birds' feet cool without getting them wet. I'm thinking that, in our super hot climate broken up bricks in the bird baths would be really helpful for our little guys. If they want to get in to the water, that's fine. But even if they just rested on the brick while they dried off, they'd still stay cooler than with rocks. Just a thought!
Thanks to you I made my first fountain. I also have a hummingbird feeder & get even big birds trying to use it. I hope to see all bird's use my fountain to cool off. Your upbeat and amazing. God bless you and your bird friends.
My brothers laid up at my house and he lives humming birds. I’ll have to do something like this for him to enjoy the bride when he’s relaxing outside.. thank you. 🤔 most of this can be purchased at the $ store.. very cool dyi project.
Awesome video & you have an infectious sense of joy for birds like I do so I definitely plan on making a couple of these for my backyard friends. Unfortunately I don’t have any hummingbirds yet, but I hope to attract some soon! So far I have blackbirds but the literal hundreds, house finches, tanagers, bullock’s Orioles, chickadees, blue jays, cowbirds, house sparrows, robins, & a couple of hawks that have decided my back yard is an excellent hunting ground for their dinner. It used to really distress, but I remind myself that they likely have families of their own to feed somewhere. I also have 8 squirrels at last count that help themselves to the bird food & the squirrel food. Lol. Thanks for the video. You did an excellent job explaining what you were doing & why. I’m disabled so I enjoy watching wildlife because it’s free (ok not really bc I spend a small fortune on bird seeds. Lol) & it’s so entertaining. Thanks so much!
all right,that's what I'm talking about.I watched one other of your videos and you were just talking and we never got to see the birds in the bird bath.this video was fantastic with the birds right away taking baths.I have one of these in my birdbath but I never see any Birds go to it.I thought maybe the running water scared them.After watching this video I think I'll have to adjust my water flow.Well thanks so much for the video it was really fun to watch.your garden looks totally groovy by the way.
The universe gifted me the coolest chip + dip dish this weekend after watching this video. I angry-picked up the garbage surrounding the dumpster at my apt. complex that I got sick of looking at and, for whatever reason, I turned my head and this large, clear acrylic dish caught my eye from the open side slider. Bonus points: it's sectioned in a way that it literally looks like a flower! Turned my frown upside down straight away. 😊 Buying a solar fountain pump TODAY and 2 types of different colored marbles to mimic the coloring of the middle and petals of a flower. I am not a big fan of the plastic bucket look, but I have seen people wrapping planting buckets online with burlap, connected / wired paint sticks, thick rope, and those grass window shades as camouflage and will roll with one of those.
This is the greatest channel I've ever subscribed to! Your effervescent personality is so captivating and I too am a great fan of hummingbirds here in Oklahoma. Your DIY's have kept me busy! THANK YOU so much! 💜
Made my first water fountain, makes you look at pots in a different way. Have a pot no hole but a red frisbee that will work great on top. I love this!!
Bird bath in operation, however, not the plate & bucket. Had to go back with pump submerged in water elevated & surrounded by rocks. No customers yet, but build it & they will come. Right?
Good timing in sharing a super affordable birdbath because just yesterday I read that some male hummers can be *highly* territorial as in get away it's all *mine* stingy selfish. The article suggested placing many baths about 10 feet apart, room allowing of course. I have a downtown 2' x 6' balcony so I'll learn what works but surprisingly I get hummers, hawks, large murders of well established crows and dragonflies to mine and my cat's delight. No fear, Toby is indoor only and politely watches the birds...no lunging at the window from my good boy! 👵🏻💞😺
A new project to put on my list of things for Next Spring, I've been working hard the last few years to make my yard full of flowers for Butterflies (especially Monarch's), Humming birds, and of course the wild birds, I have a regular bird bath but I can't lie, I often forget to fill it up, it's on the side of the house next to the side porch in one of my flower bed , So I don't see it all the time. But I want some of these to put on the porch so i can watch them from my living room window :)
What could be better than contagious enthusiasm? Watching this beautiful lady's example of it, and her equally beautiful results, which make me want to go enthusiastically make my own. First time viewing, and won't be my last. Thanks.

I buy the large bags of river rock ($6.00) at Lowe's and dump them and pick out the pretty ones for my flowers etc.

Thank you Robbie. I'm happy to have found you. I have a crow who comes daily for me to feed him on my wall. I named him Henry, n he has to side kicks 2 white doves. So when I hear them (I know hes close. I'm going to make the fountain tommorrow. Your an inspiration. Where we go 1 we go all.
Very creative. Love her beautiful personality!
Been looking for solar bird bath ideas for my mother and just found this video. Love the idea of the bucket and chip dip bowl, this is perfect 👍
Thank you for these simple and affordable DIY bird baths! Looking forward to making it, and attracting more of our feathered friends:) So lovely to see and read about others who care for nature.
She is wacky, very in enthusiastic. but I love her!!
I'll take that, thanks, Robbie
Fantastic!!!! I love my birds, got my humming bird feeders cranking and now wanted to make a small easy bird bath and this is perfect!!! Thank you so much for making this!! We have a few chip n dip trays we don't use!! Your very crafty!! Love it!!!
You’re always a happy person. And I love that. Thanks for this great idea
Stay safe💖
Thank you! You too! Take care, Robbie
An easy to make birdbath! I like the solar feature.
Omgosh I stopped using my humming feeders that don't have perches......what a clever idea with the bread ties!!!
It is amazing what those tiny birds sit on, the edge of a leaf, does not take much, Thank you, Robbie
Your ideas are so great and easy. And I LOVE your excitement and enthusiasm. You make me smile along with you. 😀❤
Hello char
You are so much fun to watch and I learn every time I watch your videos. Thank you for your positive attitude, your love of nature, and most of all your excellent ideas!
Wow, it makes me happy to see how easy it is to get this lady off! WOW
Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas! I’ve always have fed the birds but know I’m learning to give them safe water fountains ❤️. I enjoy your channel and you very much 😃
You just made my day when I found your videos! I have been so depressed. Isolated due to Covid-19. Now I can do something to take my mind off the evils of this world!
Stop isolating yourself. Get out and turn off the MSM they are trying to stir fear. God says “Do NOT fear for I am with you!” Blessings to you!
@@aprilgraham4490 I had the television disconnected before Covid 19. God showed me demons coming out of the television set. So called and told the man, "I want to disconnect and no longer use DirecTV." He said, "Why?" I replied, "Because God told me to and there is nothing but pure filth on the television shows." He agreed with me and disconnected it. I watch You Tube videos and J D Farag's ministry website preaching. I also watch videos like yours. I have hummingbirds now!
Just a hint if my grandfather had been watching this one of the things he taught us and would fuss if he saw us doing it is pull your plug out by the plug don't hold onto the cord and jiggled the plug out. It causes the wires to break inside and then you don't get any electricity coming from the plug up into whatever the plugs connected to lamp I think the sweeper used to be the one that he would be upset about or the toaster. I noticed when you were unplugging your soldering iron it appeared on the film that you were pulling it out more by the chords and buy the plug itself. Might have been the angle of the camera so I apologize if I was wrong. I love your videos and I just had to re-subscribe because my RUclips got messed up by my son
You are a doll to share this with us🦋🕊🐦
Thank you for saying 'mickey mouse it' !! No one knows what this means when I say it!! Awesome channel Robbie!!!!
I use the term Mickey Mouse it, too. A good example is fixing an item using duct tape.
This is the first time I am hearing the term "mickey mouse it" and I am intrigued. 😊 Where does it come from?
Robbie - we are kindred spirits. The hummingbirds are my special friends too. They come to me and want me to put the water hose down so they can drink and take a bath. I have them fly up to my face and then they motion down to the hose letting me know what they are looking for. So I want to build them a bird bath and my mom is sending me a hummingbird feeder for my birthday. Now I can make them a special bird bath as opposed to buying one. I am going to add a bunch of nice smooth rocks and make it look it like a natural setting. Such a great video, thank you.
Those birds will love that so much, as they trust you, so they will be watching to see what you are putting out for them, THEY KNOW. Thank you, take care, Robbie
I just found this channel and I have hummingbirds fly right in front of my face and hover, maybe thanking for their nectar?
Boy, that little hummingbird was enjoying that sprinkler. If I didn't have cats I would so get one of those solar pumps for the birds in the yard. Thanks for showing your fun idea!
If you can get the bath up high enough, there will be much less issues with cats. Keep an eye on them and make adjustments as needed. Lots of perches in bushes near -- but not right next to -- the bath gives them a safe feeling and also gives them a spot to wait, out of view, for their turn in the water. I'm tryna come up with a way to do a hanging birdbath with pump recirculating water, somehow, for the very reason you bring up.
This ! is comforting; And fun to watch! Love your garden
These would make an awesome gift for anyone. Just thinking what a blessing it would be for a nursing home or senior neighbor . Thank You for sharing. ❤ God Bless
Nice idea. And something I would like to make for the birds in my yard. Thanks.
I just moved to socal! Planning on filling my yard with hummingbird feeders and especially outside the kitchen sink window to make washing dishes a little more pleasant.
There's a trick that a guy in Tucson figured out to help chickens survive our heatwaves.
You see, the chickens don't like to get IN to the bird baths to stay cool. So he found that if he put bricks in the bottom and filled up the water levels so that it was up toward the top, but not covering the bricks, the birds would sit on the bricks. The water can wick up through the masonry and keep the birds' feet cool without getting them wet.
I'm thinking that, in our super hot climate broken up bricks in the bird baths would be really helpful for our little guys. If they want to get in to the water, that's fine. But even if they just rested on the brick while they dried off, they'd still stay cooler than with rocks.
Just a thought!
That's awesome! You just gave me an idea for my backyard. And thanks for not playing any annoying musical background. Thank you again😉
I loved your spirited personality. You make it looks so fun!!!
Love the idea and will do it soon, but your voice can be a little irratatilng at times. Love the idea though.
Ur so right! Luv it

You are so good
Thanks to you I made my first fountain. I also have a hummingbird feeder & get even big birds trying to use it. I hope to see all bird's use my fountain to cool off. Your upbeat and amazing. God bless you and your bird friends.
How creative and cool !!! I'm sure the birds all thank you....!!!! 😊 God Bless...!!
You are lovely!! A gift from God!!! He gave you charisma!!!And boy does it show, God Bless you and your Family!!! ❤️🙏😀
They Love it! So Cute!😂
Thank you 😊
All you ladies are so sweet and kind. So needed now a days. Truly precious.
My brothers laid up at my house and he lives humming birds. I’ll have to do something like this for him to enjoy the bride when he’s relaxing outside.. thank you. 🤔 most of this can be purchased at the $ store.. very cool dyi project.
Even feeding the other birds he might enjoy too, Thanks, Robbie
Awesome video & you have an infectious sense of joy for birds like I do so I definitely plan on making a couple of these for my backyard friends. Unfortunately I don’t have any hummingbirds yet, but I hope to attract some soon! So far I have blackbirds but the literal hundreds, house finches, tanagers, bullock’s Orioles, chickadees, blue jays, cowbirds, house sparrows, robins, & a couple of hawks that have decided my back yard is an excellent hunting ground for their dinner. It used to really distress, but I remind myself that they likely have families of their own to feed somewhere. I also have 8 squirrels at last count that help themselves to the bird food & the squirrel food. Lol. Thanks for the video. You did an excellent job explaining what you were doing & why. I’m disabled so I enjoy watching wildlife because it’s free (ok not really bc I spend a small fortune on bird seeds. Lol) & it’s so entertaining. Thanks so much!
Hello Sherri
Thank you so much for sharing! This video made me smile inside and out.
I am so impressed! I have never seen a hummingbird use a birdbath!! I had the solar spray and bath but I love how you have the constant water
Robbie everything you make has so much charm! I adore this idea!😀🍃⚘🍃
YOU ARE AMAZING . THANK YOU
SINCE I CANT BE WITH MY GRANDDAUGHTER, I SEND HER YOUR PROJECT SHE CAN DO WITH HER MAMA .
all right,that's what I'm talking about.I watched one other of your videos and you were just talking and we never got to see the birds in the bird bath.this video was fantastic with the birds right away taking baths.I have one of these in my birdbath but I never see any Birds go to it.I thought maybe the running water scared them.After watching this video I think I'll have to adjust my water flow.Well thanks so much for the video it was really fun to watch.your garden looks totally groovy by the way.
First they have to know it is safe, try placing it near plants where they can hide if they need to, thanks, Robbie
The universe gifted me the coolest chip + dip dish this weekend after watching this video.
I angry-picked up the garbage surrounding the dumpster at my apt. complex that I got sick of looking at and, for whatever reason, I turned my head and this large, clear acrylic dish caught my eye from the open side slider.
Bonus points: it's sectioned in a way that it literally looks like a flower! Turned my frown upside down straight away. 😊
Buying a solar fountain pump TODAY and 2 types of different colored marbles to mimic the coloring of the middle and petals of a flower.
I am not a big fan of the plastic bucket look, but I have seen people wrapping planting buckets online with burlap, connected / wired paint sticks, thick rope, and those grass window shades as camouflage and will roll with one of those.
Another awesome DIY water bath... I'm gonna definitely try this one. Thanks Robbie!
I love your enthusiasm, bird lady 😊 Thanks for sharing! So sweet!
I love this! Thank you so much, this will be perfect for my garden! You have the best personality ever! So cheerful, happy and fun! 💙💜❤️
You are so full of life. ❤️
This is the greatest channel I've ever subscribed to! Your effervescent personality is so captivating and I too am a great fan of hummingbirds here in Oklahoma. Your DIY's have kept me busy! THANK YOU so much! 💜
Made my first water fountain, makes you look at pots in a different way. Have a pot no hole but a red frisbee that will work great on top. I love this!!
That's just Great! Today I bought plastic plates & a bowl for the other bird bath you showed. Dang it! This ones even neater!
Bird bath in operation, however, not the plate & bucket. Had to go back with pump submerged in water elevated & surrounded by rocks. No customers yet, but build it & they will come. Right?
Very cool idea!!
I wonder how it might be raised up a bit, you know, to avoid cat cravings >.< ;-)
@@melody5683 You can place it up higher if you have cats, thanks, Robbie
Good timing in sharing a super affordable birdbath because just yesterday I read that some male hummers can be *highly* territorial as in get away it's all *mine* stingy selfish. The article suggested placing many baths about 10 feet apart, room allowing of course.
I have a downtown 2' x 6' balcony so I'll learn what works but surprisingly I get hummers, hawks, large murders of well established crows and dragonflies to mine and my cat's delight. No fear, Toby is indoor only and politely watches the birds...no lunging at the window from my good boy! 👵🏻💞😺
Fantastic idea! We’ve been frustrated with “static” bathes for some time now, this will be an excellent change!
You are amazing thank you for bringing the outdoors to our porches as well as gardens I can’t wait to try this repurposing older items …stay blessed
Have fun!
Thanks for the great idea, I’m going to go get the supplies and make a couple of them😊
Lol that’s awesome!! I love your excitement!! I’m going to make one !
A new project to put on my list of things for Next Spring, I've been working hard the last few years to make my yard full of flowers for Butterflies (especially Monarch's), Humming birds, and of course the wild birds, I have a regular bird bath but I can't lie, I often forget to fill it up, it's on the side of the house next to the side porch in one of my flower bed , So I don't see it all the time. But I want some of these to put on the porch so i can watch them from my living room window :)
This bucket water fountain sounds like it will work perfect for you, take care, Robbie
What could be better than contagious enthusiasm? Watching this beautiful lady's example of it, and her equally beautiful results, which make me want to go enthusiastically make my own.
First time viewing, and won't be my last. Thanks.
I just saw this and it's fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity! I love it!🐦
I just found you today! So glad I did! Can't wait to see more videos!!!
Hello Debbie
Fantastic Robbie, thank you for this! I've been trying to figure out how to get movie water in a DIY birdbath I've had in mind. I so appreciate this!
