These are so much fun to make! I cut a fuzzy tennis ball in half, used that atop a soda bottle and pushed the tubing through for the water to bubble out. Big hit with all my bird buddies 😊
Robbie, you are so amazingly creative! Thank you to the Queen of Hummingbirds for sharing her wonderful ways of showing love to these beautiful creatures!
I put 2 new pretty birdbaths out this year, 2 of my old ones (a pie plate on a wire basket) It is so much fun to watch the birds! The Robins take baths, the sparrows mostly get a drink, sometimes they wait in line on the fence😁 a fountain I need to create!!!
I went to the thrift store and found a beautiful hand-painted glass vase that is about three feet tall with purple and green flowers on it. I used the solar panel and tubing and put a charger plate on top with rocks. It turned out gorgeous, thank you so much for the ideas.
Guilty! I am one of those. You make it so easy and we don’t have to spend $$$ to please our little birds. Love y’all in calif. down here in Texas ❤muah💋
Hey Robbie and Gary I use the usb fountain cause where my house is very little sun mostly shade so I found these work great and I have used them for two years now and the birds love the fountains made from some of your lovely creations especially the dollar tree plastic drinking glasses thanks so much for the wonderful video
I absolutely love hummingbirds. I have noticed that not many are coming around as previous years. Anything I can add to my garden to attract them is welcomed. Love your ideas, thank you!!
after watching your videos I bought two from Temu. I set up the floating solar fountain yesterday and even in this somewhat cloudy weather, it's sputtering away and I LOVE it. The birds haven't caught on yet but I know they will. Also, because of your videos, I made it so that it stays in the middle of the water and the birds have a place to perch and splash. thanks for your videos.
Awe that first one you showed is the one I bought. The only thing I don’t like about it is, it doesn’t have a stand to hold/ stand it up. I have mine standing up against a water bin I have for bigger birds.
Thank you Robbie and Gary for the helpful and fun video. 1) What wattage of solar panel do you recommend? Will a sightly larger higher wattage panel power the pump more reliably? 2) What do you do to clean your fountains and how often do you clean them? (Never cleaning them could lead to birds getting one another sick).
I just love all your videos and wonderful ideas. I just picked up a 6 pack of 5 inch long plastic watering globes for a few dollars and am going to try it with some solar fountains I picked up as well. I'd love to see or hear back with your thoughts and ideas.😊 @Robbie and Gary Gardening Easy
I don’t know where you get your pump from my pump just about move the water I got about five or six of them I used one which gives enough water for me. I took a rain barrel put the pump inside the rain barrel with a three piece 3 foot hose turn the lead upside down put the hose to the lid and some rocks is ornaments the bridge love it I don’t have to worry about running out of water as long as it rains By the way, I’m using Rubbermaid garbage fill as the rainbow
Would a few rocks in the bottom make it more stable? What about putting it in a regular bird bath? Would that make all birds happy and be more attractive due to splashing water?
I've made a couple of the water fountains from buckets . They turned out great but no birds are using it. Can't figure out why. Any suggestions? Thanks love your ideas.
I got one those that floats on the water but the water does not constantly stream up - only a blurb every few seconds - not sure the birds have even looked at it
If you open the description box, you will find links to the fountain pumps. To open the description box, look for the word MORE at the end of the video title. That should expand the description box. Once in the description box, sometimes you initially can’t see the entire contents. Look for the word MORE again to expand the box.
I bought one of these pumps and never worked after going thru all of the hassle and making a fountain. The pump wouldnt work no matter where I put the solar panel.
I am so discouraged with the solar kits I’ve gotten both on EBay and Amazon costing from $11 to $20 Out of 4 of them 3 do not work. I have the panel in sun and nothing happens.
Happy Sunday Everyone 👋
Same to you there, Thanks
Hi Robbie :) I'd love to see you do a 2023 tour of ALLLL your fountains :)
I’ve done that in the video I think last year and I’ll try to do it again this year, thanks ❤️
Good afternoon everyone Happy Gardening
Hi Karen, You have a great afternoon too, thanks and Happy Gardening! Back into the garden I go.
Robbie gives me Art teacher vibes.... great teacher!!!
I have used the 2nd one..lasted 2 years.I would buy again
Your fountain videos changed my life/and bird gardens last summer!!

Great informative video 📹
Thanks again Robbie, and also I love how creative you are, I love all your fountains and creations but that ice cream tub one is just darling! ❤
Thank you Robbie! I have 2 solar fountains thanks to you and your videos.:) ❤😊
❤❤❤You’re Sooo Smart!!!

Thank you, been wanting to do something like this.
Love all of these!! Is there a connector that shoots up bubbles into the air?
I just love all your videos and wonderful ideas. I just picked up a 6 pack of 5 inch long plastic watering globes for a few dollars and am going to try it with some solar fountains I picked up as well. I'd love to see or hear back with your thoughts and ideas.😊 @Robbie and Gary Gardening Easy

Just ordered another pump. You can never have enough fountains!
Would a few rocks in the bottom make it more stable? What about putting it in a regular bird bath? Would that make all birds happy and be more attractive due to splashing water?
Do you put copper in the water to avoid algae buildup?
LOVE YALL ❤

Where did you get your pump
If you open the description box, you will find links to the fountain pumps. To open the description box, look for the word MORE at the end of the video title. That should expand the description box. Once in the description box, sometimes you initially can’t see the entire contents. Look for the word MORE again to expand the box.
Unfortunately 💔💔💔 I have not seen any hummingbirds use my water fountain I made that’s exactly like yours with the pinkish/ purple flower cup.
The water por Virginia is to hard.😢 Thank you for sharing . 😊
My concern is all these plastics... if they are safe sitting in sun.
I did a whole video on plastics, and they’re fine
I bought one of these pumps and never worked after going thru all of the hassle and making a fountain. The pump wouldnt work no matter where I put the solar panel.
