    Since I found your videos, I now have 7 birdbaths with pumps and I love them! My husband thinks that I have enough lol, but I tell him that I have more ideas and places to put them. Thank you so much for sharing all of you water features and gardening videos! I have learned a lot from you and Gary.

    This is off topic but I want to say thanks for teaching me how to make canopies for my plants. I make them using irrigation tubing and 30% shade cloth. I have been using them for puny plants or new plants to protect them from our treacherous Florida sun. I as well I'm going crazy with this irrigation tubing. So thanks again you're saving my plants.

      @@metalrabbit09 I put in the link I order it from eBay I decided on 30% because I do want my plants to be able to take full sun as they get a little older and I didn't want to spoil them too much. The shade cloth is really quite inexpensive and it works wonderfully I used the tubing instead of cutting up placemats which I find a lot easier.

    Hello. Robbie. you look very pretty. Your hair is nice, i do not see it much cause you wear your Cool Robbie ballcap ,your nice hummingbird necklace and your nail polish.💅 I have one of those type that all the water sprays out and gets dried out. I got home and there was this loud annoying sound? i asked Husband what is that noise? we both looked around and out on our balcony ,the bird bath was empty of water and the SOLAR bird part that floats in the water was buzzing the beat heck. we do not use it. Our favorite one is the cup with the straw.🧋 and those foam balls that you had made, We found the electric fountain part at the hardware store $12.00 that we put the Elephant watering jug to. So Awesome it looks so cool. You have so many Bright Ideas. And Thanks i,ve been waiting for a Solar fountain updates. Love Love Love.🥰💖💝 Nora and Manuel. Stay Cool. Yikes Robbie get inside.

    SO Excited!!!! One of my baths ( chip/dip dish over a deep bucket) has been discovered by one of my hummingbirds. It's not quite a perfect set up yet because I used a spray head from the kit and I need a larger surface to catch the water, but my little visitor hovered in the center of the spray for close to a minute. Maybe more will try. My baths either have twigs, pebbles, or groves to rest on, but this little lady wanted a 360° shower. Thank you,Robbie, for the brilliant inspiration.

    Yesterday I put together my own insulated cup fountain. Sadly, I just don’t have enough consistent sun for the solar collector. I really appreciate this video because now I know that I can go and find a plug-in pump that is similar. I had a lot of fun, making my cup fountain. I used an old hydrangea Branch for the perch. I could not find my dad‘s soldering iron. So, I ended up using 35 different drillbits and my Dremel. As long as the sun hits it and it’s fine but it’s so hit and miss that I am going to go with plug-in. Thanks so much. What a great video. What a wonderful find ❤️

    hi robbie 🤗
    my dad recently made a hummingbird fountain based on one of your recent videos. he said it works perfectly and his birds love it!
    i made a 6-bucket vertical garden container set based on your may 2021 video and am ready to add this bird bath to my dollar tree hummingbird feeders.
    you are a true jewel and gem. thank you so much for every video. i appreciate it more than you know.
    one quick question -
    my backyard has become overrun with those near hummingbird-sized iridescent flying beetles.
    my backyard raised bed garden is small, but it's one of the joys of my life. i work in it almost every day, but have become afraid to even go outside.
    i have never seen these beetles in my yard before this summer and have had a garden for several years at my current location. i understand beetles may be helpful, are a part of the ecosystem/nature, etc., but they have literally scared me out of going into my backyard. it's become a serious situation for me. i already have yellowjackets and all kinds of spiders to contend with.
    what can i do to deter/get rid of the beetles? thanks

      in another video she shows how to use a sodering iron to make the holes larger where the water squirts out. This decreases the pressure so it doesn't spray so much. The bigger the holes, the lower the spray. I think you can also make it so it just kind of burbles out. I like the one she makes that looks like a round stone on top... but it's just a styrofoam ball. Seems to be the bird favorite.

      @@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy oh okay. Sounds good. I have no idea how those work. Looks like such a fun project. I just hung up two feeders and a suet. A humming bird feeder and a regular one outside the living room window. So much fun watching the birds. I'm concerned w these house sparrows though. Chasing the chickadees and everything else off. I do have a slingshot... Apparently they're the #1 pest bird because if they get a reliable food source they will go around and kill all the other bird nests. Kick the babies right out. Territory. You can actually 'get rid of them' if u wanted to in most places because they're not native, invasive and killing off the native birds. I'm gonna get a squirrel dome. I might try and melt my own w a torch cuz they're expensive. Then hang fishing line or chain around the edge and hang that dome over the feeder. They don't like flying thru tight spaces. Best solution I found so far. Also getting food they don't like. They don't like domes and don't like fishing line.
