    Thank You all for joining me on this, made this yesterday late afternoon, and the birds love it. I ordered more to make another, I will do the wire a bit different, I have a few new ideas since yesterday, which may surprise you. Hope to get that up a bit different by next week. Thanks again

      I am thinking about trying to make something for the birds in my yard. I do have a question for any of you. Since this solar fountain needs a lot of light, sitting this in the sun to achieve this. Doesn't the water in the bowl get really hot and stay too hot for the birds to enjoy?

    Hi Robbie, I started out watching your site and I was thrilled I got 1 Hummingbird . Then I got 2 , then 3, 4,5,6 and then I bought 2 -16 oz. feeders, then I needed 3 -16 oz. feeders Then 4 -16oz. feeders. We were going through 4 - 16 feeders in 2 days ! We are just a tiny little campground in the country ! I was amazed when I saw 2 hummingbirds ! You were the one who got me excited about feeding these little babies ! I love them so much !!! When winter came and the last hummer flew south I was so sad 😢 I missed my little birdies ! I was literally counting down the days till they would be back again ! There would be as many as 10 to 15 at once here at a time. I could go outside and call them and they would come ! The would chatter and sometimes they would fight but not too much .They bring so much joy to my life ❤ They know me and my husband . Sometimes they get really close to me and I don’t know how to react, I just try to sit still. The sound they make almost hurts ears ! Does it yours ? I just got a very pitcher for their food , we go through so much ! Not like the 50 pound bags you go through ! We thank you for all your videos ! I have watched many of them ! I want to try your new fountain bath for the birds ! I am hooked !!! Thank you again Robbie from Southern California ❤❤❤ We love you 🥰 here in North Carolina 💕💕💕Lizabeth Rushman

    Hummingbirds do like fine mist sprays, just not direct sprays. My husband used to hold the hose with a fine misty spray and the hummingbirds would fly back and forth thru it. They loved it. And we had an old TV dish he set upright and made a bird bath with it too.

    I have the panel without the green base. I always have a water bowl with rocks on the corner of my deck. After watching some of your videos, I got the panel, put it on a rectangular tub, put the tub in an old basket. Still added rocks, I may have to add something for them to stand on. Thanks for the inspiration! I love the bowl you used!

    I’m 71 years young! I am a 6th generation rancher. I helped my Grandpa and Dad on the 8,000 acre sheep & goat ranch in SW TX, 30 miles N of Mexico on the Pecos River. Annual rainfall 18-20”
    Then my ex and I co-managed a 12,000 acres cattle ranch in NE TX for 20 years. Annual rainfall 30-40”.
    I also had my own small tiller and gardened, container gardening fits my arthritis perfectly. I butchered my own chickens and deer but took calves to the processing plant.
    I have a box of household parts because I did the Honey Do’s because my ex was a work-aholic. I also have a box with parts for aquarium. You never know when you will need an odd part.
    I order items per what you use. I can’t wait until it arrives.
    I hope you both use sunscreen ! Stay healthy! My 14 year ild Chihuahua, Sweetie Pie has a chronic, painful pinched nerve in her neck. She was really healthy before this started.
    God bless ya’ll and stay healthy!

    I love that bowl and the bird bath! I have put out 2 fountains, but I am waiting a couple of weeks before putting out anymore. We have hundreds of the little squiggly things that fall off oak trees, and the pollen is awful. There are so many squiggly things that they are clogging up my fountains. I have to clean them every day. I have 6 birdbaths, and I change the water 3 to 4 times a day because of the squiggly things and pollen. Can't wait to see your next video! ❤😊❤😊❤

    Hi Robbie. I just recently found your channel. I’ve been fascinated watching your little feathery friends. I’ve decided to make some bird baths as well. My question is, does having all those fountains result in a lot of mosquitoes breeding? I live in Texas and we already have a lot of mosquitos. I don’t want to make it worse. I suspect using the solar fountains would create a breeding ground for them at night when the fountains aren’t running.

    Robbie, what I have found with pumps without the flap is that they float too close to the edge and then tend to lose water too quickly from it blowing out. I’ve never seen the one you have. I’m going to look it up. It may solve my challenges. ❤

      Hi Edie! I had the same problem with the floating solar fountains getting too close to the edge and emptying the reservoir too quickly. I'm going to describe my solution in case you want to tweak the fountain you have instead of buying a new one just to get a flap. Basically, I use thin wire (similar to what Robbie used here) to make "bumper guards". I turn the fountain upside down and make a grid (like tic-tac-toe) surrounding the little motor, then I tape it or glue it in place. The ends of the grid extend almost as far as the diameter of the water bowl I use, so when the fountain floats, it remains mostly centered. An improvement I've since made to my initial idea is making the ends rounded by creating 3 elliptical loops with the wire instead of leaving the ends open. I crisscross them evenly on the underside of the fountain, so it ends looking like the popular "chemistry" or atom symbol, or perhaps like a 6-petaled flower. The wires do not impede the functioning of the fountain in any way. I hope this gives you another idea to try! Keep being crafty! (Edited to add: I found 2 ideas similar to mine. Go to Amazon and search for
      "Mademax Solar Fountain, Upgraded Solar Bird Bath Fountain with 4 Easy Install Nozzle and Fixer, Solar Powered Fountain Pump for Bird Bath, Garden, Pond, Pool, Fish Tank, Outdoor"
      AND
      "AISITIN 3.5W DIY Solar Fountain Pump for Water Feature Outdoor Solar Bird Bath Fountain Pump with Multiple Nozzles, Solar Powered Water Floating Fountain for Garden, Ponds, Fish Tank and Aquarium")
      Wishing you a great gardening and birding season!
