Thanks Robbie! Saw my first humming of the year today in central Illinois. Bought a fuschia plant yesterday and the label said they attract hummingbirds and they werent lying :) I am not crafty but I think Imcan do this fountain thing, Thanks 👍
I ordered several usb water pumps the other day. I put one underneath an upside-down terracotta pot and ran a straw up through the drainage hole and put it in the middle of my birdbath. I do have one of those battery packs, but I decided to run an extension cord under the birdbath table and the plug stays under a bucket to keep dry. I may have to set one up higher for the hummer, though.
Ever thought of using small hula hoops to make round perches by the fountains? I think there are some that are 24" that could be adapted to provide an arch type of perch on or near fountains or food supply containers. Something to consider....would be fun to see how they might work.
Just finished building my fountain inspired by you. I kept the flower part on top and hot glued a straw down in the middle. I'd share a photo if I could. Thanks for the great ideas.
I need to try this! I got this fountain but haven't made any changes to it yet. I finally saw a little sparrow using it this morning. I have several species of birds used to my feeders now I'm trying to get them to use fountains. I'm curious if the cage feeders you make would keep grackles out. I have a grackle problem. They come in droves and devour everything.
I got to see my first Oriole at my hummingbird feeder! If it wasn’t for your videos I would not know there name. I was thrilled ! I’m in Riverside Plaza Area zone 9b❤
404👍Wow !! Great presentation, GOD BLESS YOU DEAR , HAVE A NICE TIME Amazing dear pretty sister, very beautiful , wonderful coverage , greetings from HONG KONG @richscenic
Thank you so much! I had wondered how to protect the power bank outside, now I feel silly cause, duh! 😂 And I think I’m going to make one to sit in one of my huge pots, then I can plant flowers around it!
I love your content and you've inspired me to be more creative in my garden, including making fountains for birds and otherwise encouraging wildlife. HOWEVER, where is Gary?? This is the Robbie and Gary channel! I really feel like we need a Gary update soon! Love you both!
I was super excited to do this as I have a male hummingbird who frequents my feeder. Sadly, after a month of constant being plugged in, he has no interest in it. Some other hummingbirds flying through also aren't interested. I've actually only seen one non-hummingbird take a drink. I was so disappointed! Anyways, just wanted to post in case someone else really gets high hopes because your set up very likely won't get the attention like this one does. I'd say that Robbie's hummingbirds probably have a different mentality than all the others! Thank you though for the entertaining video!
Hi everyone! I put this fountain out with the terracotta pot. I’ve moved it around from sun to shade, near plants and away from plants. I haven’t had a single bird on it since I put it out. I have two hummingbirds so far (Northeast Texas). They are going crazy on the salvia and the feeders but won’t touch the fountain. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I love this. You are so amazing always come up with great ideas that does not break our wallets. I have a question on your beautiful scented geranium you have. Which kind is it? I have been trying to get this one since it is so pretty. I love the color and two little dots. They are so cute. Which scent is it? Please share. 🙏 Thank you.
Robbie, any idea why we started to see a very few hummingbirds around the first of May in Ohio, and now have seen none for almost a week? It's quite disappointing. 😢
I'm so thrilled my 4 hummingbirds came back again this year :) Ijust roder the water fountain and the soldering thing and power bank :) How often do you charge the bank? At night and then plug in again in am?
love the idea! But Don’t the pouches or plastic containers holding the battery pack get moisture in them from the heat and damage the battery? Do you know how long the fountain runs on a full charged ?
Hi I love your videos! but I have one question - are the Power Banks that you were using USB C? I’ve noticed that some of the power banks say it only take a certain cord so I wasn’t sure what the pet fountain had.
Set up a fountain with the usb pump. Bought a power pack from Walmart for $5.88. Obviously this was different than one you used. It barely lasted for 1 full day. What are specs on power pack you buy? Thank you!
Same here. I have a resident male hummingbird at my feeder and he wants nothing to do with it. I have a few others in the area and same thing. None go in it. In fact, no birds seem to like it. I've had it for nearly a month now and I think I saw maybe one bird take a drink. I'm in Southern California.
Question, what’s a good hummingbird feeder? 2 of my dollar tree ones are now leaking. I haven’t had them long, and I know you get what you pay for, hence my question. Thanks!
Id like to know where you got the terra cotta planter with the “steps” as Ive looked at Lowes HD and Walmart and don’t see it. It looses perfect in the video.
I HAVE A QUESTION IS THE PEPINO EASY TO GROW I WOULD LOVE TO GROW IT FOR MY GRANDKIDS BUT BEFORE I ORDER IT ONLINE ID LIKE TO KNOW FROM SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY GROWS IT. I LIVE IN 7B ZONE
Thanks so much for sharing the wonderful fountain with us. The birds look like it’s having a really good time.
I love all the different ways you've found to customize it Robbie!! You're so creative!! 💓
I have over 6 hummers here in Unionville Missouri the feeder hang on a arber and the sit on it and chase each other lol i took some pictures of them
They just started to arrive in Wyoming ❤. They fight something crazy 🤪. I'm going to add another feeder soon.
Love your ideas! Started making my own now!
Thank you so much for providing a wealth of knowledge for helping the population of hummingbirds. Keep them coming…

I used to have my coffee on my front deck & the hummingbirds would "zoom" by my head everyday. I looked forward to seeing them everyday ❣️
You are amazing! Thanks for the tips and advice. You’re the best. 😊
I have a little hummingbird here in Wichita Kansas!
Way cool about changing the bird bath. Thanks for all of your great ideas.

Great idea

Thank you.
Are the power packs expensive,and where are they sold?
I love this. You are so amazing always come up with great ideas that does not break our wallets.
I have a question on your beautiful scented geranium you have. Which kind is it? I have been trying to get this one since it is so pretty. I love the color and two little dots. They are so cute. Which scent is it? Please share. 🙏
Thank you.
It’s called Angels perfume, I tried to get another one and I can’t find it so I’m gonna have to propagate mine Thank you
I love it ❤❤❤but i keep everything brown or black ... terracota
This is so cool ❤
Robbie, any idea why we started to see a very few hummingbirds around the first of May in Ohio, and now have seen none for almost a week? It's quite disappointing. 😢
Shrubs and honeysuckle are blooming here in the Northeast.
I'm so thrilled my 4 hummingbirds came back again this year :) Ijust roder the water fountain and the soldering thing and power bank :)
How often do you charge the bank? At night and then plug in again in am?
love the idea! But Don’t the pouches or plastic containers holding the battery pack get moisture in them from the heat and damage the battery? Do you know how long the fountain runs on a full charged ?
Should keep the battery out of direct sunlight, too?
Hi I love your videos! but I have one question - are the Power Banks that you were using USB C? I’ve noticed that some of the power banks say it only take a certain cord so I wasn’t sure what the pet fountain had.
Question about keeping the power pack dry - did you show 3 different methods? Pencil bag/plastic case/plastic bag or was that somehow all one process?
Question 🙋♀️ Does the charger need to be plugged into the unit on a constant basis?
Yes . The pump runs off 5 volt But they come with solar charger ones too . She says put thee solar panel in a ziplock with the zip seal down .
Where do you get the power box? The little black unit in the protective plastic bag?
Set up a fountain with the usb pump. Bought a power pack from Walmart for $5.88. Obviously this was different than one you used. It barely lasted for 1 full day. What are specs on power pack you buy? Thank you!
I made the same thing but my birds and hummingbirds won’t have anything to do with it. What am I doing wrong
Maybe there is a cat when you are not looking.
Or a big hummigbird
Same here. I have a resident male hummingbird at my feeder and he wants nothing to do with it. I have a few others in the area and same thing. None go in it. In fact, no birds seem to like it. I've had it for nearly a month now and I think I saw maybe one bird take a drink. I'm in Southern California.
I did and the scuerls take it apart i need to make a cap to return the water fown from the shouting up motor
Question, what’s a good hummingbird feeder? 2 of my dollar tree ones are now leaking. I haven’t had them long, and I know you get what you pay for, hence my question. Thanks!
How do you keep these clean and safe for the birds?
Id like to know where you got the terra cotta planter with the “steps” as Ive looked at Lowes HD and Walmart and don’t see it. It looses perfect in the video.
I think I got it at Home Depot, but I haven’t seen them for a while
How long until the power bank needs to be recharged.
Where did you find the USB water pump ???
I HAVE A QUESTION IS THE PEPINO EASY TO GROW I WOULD LOVE TO GROW IT FOR MY GRANDKIDS BUT BEFORE I ORDER IT ONLINE ID LIKE TO KNOW FROM SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY GROWS IT. I LIVE IN 7B ZONE
Maybe you can get plastic bowls from thrift stores instead of buying new ones.
You keep mentioning "the unit" but you never say where it can be bought .
I love your fountains. I have three pet birds. Now I can do this outside. 🕊🐦🦜
