I noticed some bees around your solar fountain. They need water too, during the Summer, and often drown in large containers of water. To take care of both the birds and the bees, cut a wine cork in half, lengthwise, and float in the water bowl. This allows a bee that falls into the water, to dry off and fly away. My beekeeper friend gave me this tip.
That's an awesome tip too. Thanks for sharing Bee ssfety😊🐝
Sweet! I’m doing this!
Cool cork oasis for the bees😂 Thanks for sharing 😊
This is very useful information. Fortunately, I have a cork here and there and I will definitely try this.
Don't need attack hummingbirds?
The humming bird in the background..."Whatcha doing mom? Is that for me?"
This lady should get some kind of national award for her care of birds, humming birds in particular. She's amazing !
I think she pays the hummingbirds…our hummingbirds are very territorial and they don’t allow more than one to feed at the time even though we have at least 6 feeders…and we live in SoCal just like she does…
@@besamemucho5 Mine are very territorial too! I have wondered how she has so many also.
@@besamemucho5 yes, ours are the same way, and I have 4 feeders, there is plenty for all but one thinks he owns the yard
Thank you, and Yes I pay the hummingbird in TONS of Sugar, LOL
@@besamemucho5 here. Boys let girls drink..but run off other males
i got my dad a hummingbird feeder about 30 years ago for a gift not knowing if we would ever have any.
oh yeh!! they come every year.
and the neighbor even started putting feeders out.
they are ADORABLE!!
I should never have started watching your channel. I literally cannot go in thrift store anymore. I see so many things I can make fountains out of. They are so much fun to make. I'm not crafty but even I can make these. Thanks so much.
Go force yourself to go inside a thrift store (or dollar store), your crafty side is coming out!!!! And the birds will love you for it, and you will have fun too. Take care, LOL
I know that feeling. Now my Sibling Sister is a thrift store Crazy Lady (in a good way) collecting odds and ends to create beautiful environments for her birds. They don't follow a season, they've just made her house their home.
I am so happy to have found you! A group of friends who have a passion for Hummingbirds too! This video is so inspiring, I am rushing out ro find parts and I have already ordered my pump for my first homemade bird bath!! At the moment, I only have a few birds, but want them to nest here and grow in numbers!
@@Onespirit01 Where do we get the pumps? I'll check Amazon right now.
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy Good Morning. I have a question please. I have your exact same set up, everything as you. But my stream of water is so high it’s not nice and slow as yours. Please can you tell me to f I can adjust this??? I cover a bit of the solar panel to slower the flow but it just stops or lightly pulses. I appreciate you!!!!
Look at all of the Hummingbirds feeding on nectar in the background, so cute!
Yes!
This could be used for cats. They don't like still water, so this is a great, cheap way for your cat to drink from. The units that are made specifically for cats are really expensive. I will definitely be making a few of these for the garden and one for the cat.🙂💖
Absolutely...and it would need to be cleaned frequently due to the saliva. Great idea catch.
Cat fountains are around 20 bucks, but this looks easier to clean. You would want a battery operated one though probably.
I would never let my cats outside to get attacked by coyotes
My cat LIVES outside in summer w me…she would LOVE this.
Unfortunately we’ve had four cats not all at the same time that for some reason will not drink out of running water. Just my luck
Robbie, if you want to paint these to look like stone and have nubblies for their feets to grab onto....just mix baking soda and sand with any paint, paint it and it will look like a stone birdbath!
I have done that very thing too, Thanks for sharing!
The pink color and flowers on the cup draw the humming birds. They LOVE that color.
I think the base would be pretty like that but the color is helping bring the birds.
Thankyou, that's a great idea. Will definitely try that.🙂
what part of sand and baking soda ? equal parts ?
Cool idea!
I'm out in my yard and kept hearing a hummingbird. I muted this thinking it was in my yard, but it was this video.... lol 🐦🐦🐦
Fantastic, Robbie! Great fountain! I really appreciate the way you illustrate each step in the build; that makes it so much easier. Thank you so much for sharing. Blessings
My girlfriend ❤️ meghan 💗💕 love hummingbird ❤️ and hummingbird hat.
My favourite bird, is the HUMMING BIRD..I could watch them all day..❤
Mine too!
Robbie, I had a feeling the fountain was going to turn out great, but it turned out even better than I expected. Kudos!!!
Happy day!
🌻
I so love it, and so do they, THANKS so MUCH
I love this one, too! Now I just need a soldering iron! That's the only thing I DON'T have. Thanks, Robbie!
Right on! They are everywhere, you can get then on ebay for so cheap, or at any hardware store, Thank you so much 😊
me neither but I have a drill.
I got my soldering iron from Harbor Freight.
@@nelliehagen5267 Perfect!!
Hey just get a wood burning kit at craft store… lots of tips come with it usually.
Had to laugh, the other bird watching the hummingbird in the water was like "excuse, me, I know you don't know me, but I'd like to use your bath if that's alright with you.". So cute!
I hope that UA-cam is compensating you well, because people like you - who do such a great job explaining things that they are passionate about - are invaluable.
I have been trying to get the hummingbirds in my yard this is the 4th summer I’ve asked you so many questions and with all your advice I finally have hummingbirds yay I don’t have as many as you do but I finally have them coming thank you so much for all your advice and anyone else out there it takes time and you have to stay on top of it constantly refreshing their juice and put as many feeders as you can for your area and they will come Thank you so much!! And I will be making that cute little Fountain that is so super cute
SO glad they found you!!! It does take time, we had very few years back here too. Once they find you, and the FOOD is consistent, they will stay around and females will nest near by, and their babies will know the food source. They need Water, Food and Shelter...Thank you so much 😊
That's awesome Monica! Yay! 🌱🕊️
🌹💖🙏🏼💖🌹
Ive just started looking into getting them to my yard. Thanks for your comment. I'll definitely follow this channel now
Yes. It takes time for them to find your feeders if you haven't had any or it has been awhile!😊🐦
Where can I find solar thing for it.
You can add pebbles to the bowl too. Enough so they can get in without drowning
Solar pumps are such a blessing. Live your creativity
I made this fountain just yesterday! The birds haven't found it yet, but I absolutely love it! The only money I spent was on the solar water pump. SO EASY! Thank you!
Wow...that was so fast, you just got all the stuff!!! COOL!
I started this right away, I had ideas and IT WORKED GREAT!!!! I am changing the one in the pond bathtub when I get back to the thrift store, hopefully this week. Thanks!
Just lots of fun thinking up stuff, and being creative. Love that kind of thing too. We’ve been eating lots from the garden and I planted Roma II bush green beans in a large tote and had some wonderful beans. I’ve got zucchini and honey nut butter nut in a couple other smaller ones. Not sure what size exactly, but we’ve been getting some. Funny, same seed packet one green and one stripped zuccini, plus we have yellow crook neck in the garden and it’s doing better then ever! Corn coming soon, and we’ve been eating lots of tomatoes and cucumbers as well. Lots of peppers, but none quite ready there! Harvested our candy onions from Andrews seeds and replanted our walking onions too. Using the bottoms tonight in a sloppy joe sauce with one of our tomatoes chopped up. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HAVING a garden and all the fresh veggies! Been going on 32 plus years with a garden.
Just in the nick of time, I ventured out to the big city to the dollar store, and to my amazment there were these beverage glasses, only 6 left- only one dollar! Didn't take long to make and it is the best fountain I have~so far. Thanks~
What great ideas to help the littlest of God's creatures, wow I'm going to be making a lot of trips back and to the dollar store. Thank you for your great ideas.
They love it, thanks
amazing my firned lovely hummingbird
Robbie this is so creative, I'm sure the birds are loving it!!!
The fed wildlife agency (forgot the name) just put out an announcement to make sure these baths and feeders be cleaned with a 10% bleach solution weekly. There is some infection in the small bird communities that is affecting them in very large numbers. The agency actually is asking for these feeders and baths be pit away until the infection spread slows. Keep the birds safe!
it's only on the East coast.
@@susanreynolds9947 there are illnesses out here in the West too
They didn't talk about hummingbirds.
Do NOT clean hummingbird feeders with bleach!!! Or soap!!!!
It deals with SONGBIRDS!! Here is a quote: It has been seen in a wide array of birds, including Northern cardinals, Eastern bluebirds, Carolina wrens and chickadees, house finches and sparrows, and red-bellied woodpeckers, but the Pennsylvania Game Commission said the malady appears to be targeting fledgling blue jays, common grackles, European starlings and American robins.
WOW. This appeared randomly on my UA-cam feed. And I'm so pleaaed it did.
A REAL American. No politics. No finger pointing. A happy, loving, creative free spirit.
This video should be compulsory viewing in all your classrooms and embedded in your junior science curriculum. So much more instructive of how to be a decent human by encouraging pride through a positive human/nature accomplishment, than perpetuating the dangerous and divisive critical race theory which encourages shame.
Thank you from Australia ❤
Oh wow, thank you so much 😊
Robbie!! I hope you see this message! And if not I hope it helps to encourage others!
I used to have just a few buckets on my deck and I would grow some tomatoes nothing crazy (that was until last year)
Ok let's start at the beginning....
3 years ago my daughter became guardian to 2 bunnies Star and Jupiter.
Well every week she had to clean the cages they sleep and eat in out (and it filled up the trash bags fairly quickly)
So after realizing it was a lot to send to the dump I made a area for her to dump it in the yard. Then I added in kitchen scraps /waste . Then my husband was going to clean up the yard and It honestly hadn't hit me how fast it would break down in Georgia! 3 years later my compost is honestly the best thing Ive grown in!!
When I found Robbie and Gary and I saw how she filled her totes I tried it!
Its works really good!! So if you're thinking of trying it Please do! Its saved me so much money!!
I love that there are people who care for these amazing and beautiful little birds. Thank you for the video.
I have so many cups with straws I got from $1 tree.. I cant wait to make some of these.. thank you for you creatively
I vote for her!!!
I have never seen a hummingbird smile before until I watched yourself video 😂
Until I watched your video 😮
Yourself should be your
I would like to do one with
terracotta.
Love this. Love simplicity.
Go for it!!!!! Sounds great!
This is so adorable!
so brilliant and so economical I love it!
The clear bowl and the beautiful hot pink cup what a find!
Thanks again you're a wonderful teacher!!
🤗👍✌️😁💖
at the end, that bird is happy like a child!
They love their new bath!
You are so very clever, Robbie! I love your enthusiasm and your never ending creative spirit!
This was so fun. I made one with plastic flower pots and added rocks and succulents from Dollar Tree.
Thank you!
Hoping to attract hummingbirds soon. ❤
She has inspired me to get a soldering gun
This can become addictive❤
No kidding they’re all over my yard 🤣
Lol those little birds are having a ball😆😅🤣👍
Can't wait to make my hummingbird fountain...looks like they love the water :) ty !!
I hit thrift stores every week. I also have started carrying a piece of my tubing & one of the extra fountain pieces. Should I find something that I think will work to build a fountain, I can see if it fits.
I went to Ace hardware and they finally had 5/16 inch inside diameter tubing
I love birds I feed the birds where we currently live .
That really does help them out, Thanks
I like that. Hummingbird's are soo cute
Thank You Robbie for the idea of putting the hummingbird feeder on a suction cup. I loved seeing a hummingbird come to the kitchen window this morning!😊
Thank you sooo much💕🎉 This is EXACTLY what I was after-the hummingbirds that frequent my balcony feeder will LOVE it😃
Your creativity ROCKS!!
What a wonderful Sister you are, we enjoyed your class so very much. Very Grateful
very nice idea, especially with the self-contained pump cup/container. since you have a lot of hummingbirds visiting already, it would make sense that they are probably the first ones to notice and use it!
Very true! ❤️ Thanks
WOW! That is a awesome idea! I love that the cup is double insulated. to keep the water semi cool. Thank you so very much!
Love this. I want to make one for my friend. She has tons of little hummingbirds. Nice job.👍
You are so sweet about those birdies!
Just found your page and taking the plunge and making one. Just ordered the pump and will hit the dollar store for the rest probably tomorrow. Looks easy enough even this 70yrs young man can do it.
Thank you so much for all your posts! You are so cheerful and fun to watch, I ordered a fountain and am now looking for bowl and plastic cup
When it cools off here in Phx I plan to do the totes for gardening
How easy and really attractive. I love my birds.
I'm going to make one of these for my mom she has a beautiful backyard and she's 93 and she would love this
Wherw I live there are 531 homes & each one has 1-5 humming bird feeders & many have bird baths.
What a great addition this would be!
So fun!!!
LOVE this idea!! Making one today!!! Thank you so much for the ideas you always come up with!!
This new fountain is amazing! Great job!!
I was so excited to receive my fountain pumps today. My first try was a success. It's not beautiful but it's functional. I hope the hummingbirds appreciate it......that way I can watch them and I love to do that.
Little birdie is having fun🤗
I love it! Can't wait to make it. I have so many of those tumblers. Thank you for the idea.
Just started feeding hummingbirds this year….and now I just watched your video, I’m heading to the thrift store, you rock, thanks. Found the pump on amazon. 13-15$
Perfect, I get mine on ebay, but that will work JUST be sure they are being shipped from within the USA. Otherwise it could take 3-5 months to get, take care
What brand pump. Most fail in less that 2 weeks.
That is so cool. I have never seen a hummingbird take a bath.
Birds taking a bath is cute.. hummingbirds taking a bath is even cuter! ❤😂
I adore the simplicity and ease of this fountain Robbie! I'm positive the birds appreciate it too😊💕
That is so cute I thought of this but wondered how to put the pump good idea Thank you😊😊😊🦋🦋🦋
Robbie you are Wonderful! I love your good happy mood !
I made two fountains for my hummingbird , look fantastic !Thank you very mucho 💝🌷🇺🇸🏡😘
Wonderful ❤️ Thank you 😊
How cool is that ? Thanks. For the idea. My hummies love any water around.
Yes,
Another amazing video! Just absolutely love it! Can't wait to get all the materials! Always look forward to your birdbaths! I don't think there's nothing you can't do! So talented and creative 😍
Absolutely amazing. I've been trying to figure out how I can have a fountain with a larger water well in my backyard that doesn't need an electrical outlet. I've tried the solar fountains like you use in my bird baths but the birds splash all the water out during the day. I just got tired of filling them up multiple times. This is affordable and so easy to make! Thank you, you have answered my prayers!!
These are Great, thanks so happy I could help!
That is an outstanding Idea. Who hasn't bought one of those glasses? I have them everywhere. I will make this. TY
I love hearing all of your little friends chirping in this video.
Love this!! Can't wait to make one for myself & others for friends who have hummers buzzing around - thank you for this sweet inspiration!!
OMG! Robbie you never stop amazing me with your awesome ideas! I just watched your video this morning, of you buying the products. This afternoon I watched you assemble it. This is so easy,quick and budget friendly to make! Best water fountain ever! I'm going thrift shopping next weekend! Thanks again for an amazing video! Can't wait for your next creative video!
You always been fantastic at making these...I been watching for year...Love'nHugs Barbie
Thanks
I live it! Going to add stones or marbles. So clever!
Oh my gosh, I love it. Was waiting for this. Thanks for sharing how you made it. I'm gonna get me a fountain ordered so I can make one.
A solar pump is needed hope this helps 😉
This is awesome.
Imma gonna try it
Thank u for the inspiration 💓
Blesses
Thank you 😊
I absolutely love your videos. Please keep them coming. Thank you for loving the birds!
I LOVE IT ROBBIE!🌻🌞🌻
Thanks for sharing these ideas! I love my humming birds....I have to try this!
SO COOL, once you have that pump inside the cup, the cup can be lifted and moved ANYWHERE, take care, thanks
I can't believe you got this video out so quickly! I saw your thrift shop yesterday afternoon! I love this birdbath too! I am definitely going to make one or two or three!
Another genius idea from Robbie!! You are the best!
Oh wow! THANK YOU, I was building that bird bath in my head while I was there, and could not wait to get this together, AND I LOVE IT, will have to do an update soon, as now the Orioles love it too, this morning, 2 were fighting over this birdbath, just too funny, take care
I love it. The birdies get their thurst quenched.
So happy I found you❗️👍🌹 you so. Creative 🥰 I love humming birds😍
Amazingly easy! And CHEAP! Thank you for sharing your ideas!! Looking forward to making this or something similar.
You are so welcome! By far my Favorite!!!! Thank you so much 😊
We just found your channel a few days ago and are learning so many GREAT ideas! This fountain is certainly one of them that we will be trying! Thank you so much!👍😁
Thanks, I have a new one that will be up this week, that is TOO Amazing
Those are some very happy hummingbirds. I’ll have to try something like this for my Hummie friends.
I had no clue that hummingbirds ever took baths and this is something I could even do thank you so much!
Any time! Thank you
Great project!!
Im in the Philippines and need to order the solar pump online. Because I have a big walk in aviary I need the longest cord to Solar panel possible. Could you please post the exact make and model you used please?!
Also if anyone knows of a longer cord (or whether the existing can be spliced into and extended I thank you in advance)
Love it - will make one soon! Do you have any ideas for a woodpecker waterer for drinking? They have to cling - they use my neighbors swamp cooler to get drinks of water. I can't figure one out, been mulling it for a while.
Lady Bird we love you god bless
Yet another great idea Robbie! 🤗💕🐦
Great video. Could you ad the link for the exact solar fountain you used in this video. Also do you ever put out trays of fruit for the hummingbirds?
Love your ideas, they have sparked my own creations. Would love to attach a video of mine.
Just post the link most of us will watch
Love watching your show. Learning so much about growing in totes
I love all birds but hummingbirds have a SPECIAL place in my heart. They can be very acrobatic too, flying fast very high then dive bombing back down. So fun to watch.
I was adjusting low-pressure on my hose nozzle and a Hummer flew up and took a bath while rolling on the back of my hand. I didn't dare move and was completely astonished this happened.
WE NEVER HAVE THAT CAMERA WHEN WE NEED IT, So cool!!! A memory you will never forget! LOVE IT
I would love to know where and what kind of solar pump to buy
Joycemartin461, click on the video title and Robbie provides you a lot of that info
I can't find a similar pump.....
I was looking for a reason to go to the dollar store today haha I love this idea!
😊Thanks
I made this for my step dad for Father's day. !! Thank you !!
