    I've been in the avian field for 30yrs now. Having "hands on" experience with everything from Warblers to Birds of Prey and Budgies to Macaws. And i have to say this is one of THE BEST bird baths i've seen. Perfect water depth for the little guys like the hummers who are attracted to the sound of running water as much as they are nectar. Fantastic job keep the videos coming. I'll be sure to show this to my colleagues.

      tomtalker2000 I'm not an expert like you, but I also noticed that the depth of the water was perfect for these tiny birds. Just a few centimeters at the most. I love the set-up, as well. A little paradise for the little hummingbirds!

      Go vegan. That is the embodiment of the god you speak of. You can't love one animal and eat another you can't be an environmentalist and practice factory farming eggs come from twice abused animals. Milk does not come from anything but a raped cow giving up her baby's milk to humans that have been weaned for many years yet the same people would Blair at a child whose threes who still nursing people get glared at for nursing their one-year-old child yet they'll hand them a glass of milk from a cow that's been raped to become pregnant pregnant to produce milk and her child is taken from her immediately what she screams for 4 weeks to months until she gives birth again because within days she was raped again to keep producing milk within a few years she won't produce enough so she will be hung by her back legs with all of that gigantic body weight and cut open and become your ecoli Phil Hamburger because the older the cat all the more E coli in the gut she goes to slaughter after being held against her will in such a god-awful situation and don't think that they're all treated like Bessie the cow I don't want to hear Farm stories of how we grew up at Grandma's crap. I'm sorry for bringing this up here but how can you have so much regard for this and not see the big picture how in this day and age do people not know what a sentient being goes through. I'm coming up on over a half a century of being vegan. My family was not I wouldn't touch any of the above...flesh / eggs bodily fluids of any animal. I could smell it for what it was. Turns out I have an allergy to it but as a baby I knew I was already telling people at to what was on their plate. There is a video of a woman who produced in ASMR eating video and she's eating cats and a dog head and everybody is in a horrid Panic which of course I can't even look at it. But the same videos are out with people eating a chicken or a pig's head pigs are smarter than dogs in many ways and they're loving I know a family that has a full size pig that lives in their house like their dog would he ask to go outside she asks excuse me and goes potty the farthest place away in the yard they don't even go to the bathroom where they live. They have feelings they don't want to die Pigs die a god-awful death and gas Chambers in most countries and it's long and it's painful and you can hear them scream to the bricks way out far away. It's just what you've been trained to do from the day you are born. People will use its family heritage it's our custom it's our...... nothing that is that violent and that cruel is a family tradition to be held I don't want to compare it to human behavior and what we've done to other races as humans it goes on all the time and bigger in other countries than the US which is ironic during this day and age it's gone on forever people kill other people. I never intended on doing this here it just came out. I guess it was time

Along with the fresh warm air and sunshine these precious birds, God's tiny angels, lifted her spirits daily and played a large part in her recuperating from Covid-19.

      @@squishydevil On the whole Hummingbirds of whatever species are HIGHLY territorial and aggressive. Usually only preferring to feed alone especially at nectar feeders. Bathing perhaps may be a different issue for them which is why they are all congregating together. My guess is if they are all hot then territory doesn't really factor in at that point. It's just a matter of getting cool as quickly as possible.

      DIY bird bath tutorial
      STEP 1: GATHER YOUR SUPPLIES. (CLICK BLUE WORDS TO SHOP FOR THE PRODUCTS.)
      Large Galvanized oil pan (Found at automotive stores. The one pictured is 36 x 25 and was purchased at AutoZone.)
      Submersible water pump
      Plastic tub
      Small outdoor table
      PVC pipe (The size of PVC pipe will be dependent upon the size of the fitting on your pump.)
      PVC pipe 90• elbow
      PVC pipe cap
      Wood shims
      Aquarium grass (optional)
      Tape measure
      Hacksaw (to cut PVC pipe)
      Drill and drill bits (This is the one I use and love.)
      STEP 2: DRILL HOLES IN TRAY AND SET ON TABLE.
      DIY birdbath tutorial
      Place the tray on a table so that the tray overhangs from the table by a few inches. Place the plastic tub of water underneath the tray overhang. Determine where you want the water to drain from the pan back into the tub. Using a 1/2 inch drill bit, drill one or two drainage holes in your pan.
      STEP 3: PLACE PUMP IN TUB AND MEASURE PVC PIPE.
      Set the pump in the tub and measure from the fitting on top of the pump to the top of the oil pan. This is the length that you will need to cut your first section of PVC pipe.
      STEP 4: PREPARE YOUR SECOND PVC PIPE.
      Measure the distance from the farthest edge of your pan to your first PVC pipe and cut a second piece of PVC pipe to this measurement. Using a 3/16 bit, drill single-file holes only on ONE SIDE of the pipe. Be careful that you do not drill all the way through the pipe or your water will not spray correctly. You want the water to spray out of the pipe and into the pan as pictured below.
      DIY birdbath tutorial
      STEP 5: USE A PVC PIPE 90 • ELBOW TO SECURE PIPES TOGETHER.
      STEP 6: CAP OFF THE PVC PIPE.
      Use a PVC pipe cap at the end of your pipe to secure the waterflow out of the drilled holes.
      Oil pan bird bath tutorial
      STEP 7: FILL WITH WATER AND PLUG IN.
      Using your wood shims, shimmy the end of the pan on the opposite side of the tub to allow the water to easily drain back into the tub. Fill the tub with water, plug in the pump, and enjoy!

    The serenity of this scene completely belies the fact that hummingbirds are explosively powerful for their size and can endure sudden changes in motion that would kill a human. Their power density per gram if scaled up is on part to a chemical rocket. Nectar is the hummingbirds rocket fuel. We have built test rockets that can maneuver like a humming bird using hypergolic rocket fuels and lots of tiny reaction thrusters.

      DIY bird bath tutorial
      STEP 1: GATHER YOUR SUPPLIES. (CLICK BLUE WORDS TO SHOP FOR THE PRODUCTS.)
      Large Galvanized oil pan (Found at automotive stores. The one pictured is 36 x 25 and was purchased at AutoZone.)
      Submersible water pump
      Plastic tub
      Small outdoor table
      PVC pipe (The size of PVC pipe will be dependent upon the size of the fitting on your pump.)
      PVC pipe 90• elbow
      PVC pipe cap
      Wood shims
      Aquarium grass (optional)
      Tape measure
      Hacksaw (to cut PVC pipe)
      Drill and drill bits (This is the one I use and love.)
      STEP 2: DRILL HOLES IN TRAY AND SET ON TABLE.
      DIY birdbath tutorial
      Place the tray on a table so that the tray overhangs from the table by a few inches. Place the plastic tub of water underneath the tray overhang. Determine where you want the water to drain from the pan back into the tub. Using a 1/2 inch drill bit, drill one or two drainage holes in your pan.
      STEP 3: PLACE PUMP IN TUB AND MEASURE PVC PIPE.
      Set the pump in the tub and measure from the fitting on top of the pump to the top of the oil pan. This is the length that you will need to cut your first section of PVC pipe.
      STEP 4: PREPARE YOUR SECOND PVC PIPE.
      Measure the distance from the farthest edge of your pan to your first PVC pipe and cut a second piece of PVC pipe to this measurement. Using a 3/16 bit, drill single-file holes only on ONE SIDE of the pipe. Be careful that you do not drill all the way through the pipe or your water will not spray correctly. You want the water to spray out of the pipe and into the pan as pictured below.
      DIY birdbath tutorial
      STEP 5: USE A PVC PIPE 90 • ELBOW TO SECURE PIPES TOGETHER.
      STEP 6: CAP OFF THE PVC PIPE.
      Use a PVC pipe cap at the end of your pipe to secure the waterflow out of the drilled holes.

      STEP 7: FILL WITH WATER AND PLUG IN.
      Using your wood shims, shimmy the end of the pan on the opposite side of the tub to allow the water to easily drain back into the tub. Fill the tub with water, plug in the pump, and enjoy!

    I’m going to copy your instructions and try to come up with something half as beautiful as yours. I love your use of color.
    When it comes to birds and other wildlife I try to stay away from metals and stains and paints, and try to go completely organic.
