Watching Robbie always makes me feel happy.

I love that i found your channel I went today and got some new hummingbird feeders and set them up I had something so special happen to me last summer I was watering my vegetable garden box and i had the hose nozzle on a sprinkle up in the air Out of a tree came down a hummingbird right infront of me and took a little shower in the water i was sprinkling for my garden It went back in the tree and came back down again Omg it was the cutest thing ever

In S.C. dead summer where it's SOOO hot....well before I knew to build a hummingbird fountain *by way of Robbie* I would (and still do) take my hose - after the hot water has left the hose put my thumb over it to mist it and take it up high? I noticed all the hummers coming and getting cooled off! When it's been dry is when I'm pulling the hose out for the outdoor plants and etc so.. of course they'd be hot, too! I now do it very often! So thank you for making mention of your own discovery!!! Mayhaps others will see your comment & can claim to do the same or may now will!

Tq so much…. 😊This is what I’m looking for… 🎉 an easy way to do it n much more it’s not so expensive 😅

By te way, I forgot to mention that I am a follower from Mexico City. I love what you have accomplished and the amazing way you have to share it with the World! Congratulations!

I've purchased the solar pumps before and what I ended up doing was testing the various tips, until I found one I liked, but as you said, it was still shooting up a lot higher than I wanted and I was losing water out of the bowl. So what I did was took a cordless drill and small bits and I drilled out the holes on the tip, to make the holes bigger. I did one at a time and then tested the tip on the pump. Depending on the size of your bit, you may be able to get away with only drilling one or two holes. Doing this allows more water to flow through and decreases the height of the water shooting out of the pump. Again do this slowly and do it one hole at a time. Otherwise you might open too many holes and then you won't be getting the height you want. If I remember two holes worked good for me but I don't remember the size of the small bit I used. Also, keep in mind that some of these solar pumps have an adjustment on them, where you can regulate the water flow by changing the adjustment, but the ones I bought so far did not have this. The other idea I will suggest, is if you are having issue because the water is shooting out of your bowl on all sides, it to locate the pump to one side and find a way to put it on a very slight angle. This way the water will shoot from, let's say, the left side of the bowl towards the middle and this will often be enough to keep the spray from the pump inside of the bowl, so you're not loosing water and having to constantly refill the bowl.

Loved this video. My 15 month old and I watched this video together, and he just fell in love with the videos of the birds bathing and drinking!

I love how passionate you are about caring for mother nature :-) I am the same way. Thanks for the tips (especially about not having a smooth surface). I am going to incorporate them in my plans :D

Hey Robbie 😀Thanks for the solar fountain link and the easy back yard project! I'm ready to roll!! Part of the fun is hunting for the few items needed 😉🌿⚘🌿

I set up two this week! Love them. Thank you. I love all your videos. You do inspire!

Thanks for all the tips, Robbie! You are so fun to watch and learn from.

So lovely seeing the hummingbirds

I'm gonna order mine now I like this its so cool. Solar fountains, who new! Thanks Robbie you're so caring.

Omg! Your Yorkie stole the video, I love him/her!!! so adorable

YOU ARE SO TALENTED AND CREATIVE AND SMART THANK YOU FOR SHARING FABULOUS

Listen to those birds !! Sounds wonderful!

You are a true delight. Optimistic, bright and resourceful. The perfect combination!

Going to order a solar pump now!!! Love your attitude and way to attract the birds on a small budget.

Love it! Love it! Love it! I have 2 in my yard but need to find some big rocks for them. Tfs and you have a good day!

I’ve been following you all year long since 2022 and I have, thanks to you; a beautiful backyard, bird sanctuary for my wild birds and hummingbirds and I have invested in many solar panels and followed your instruction on making the cute little bucket fountains all over my yard❤❤❤❤

What a great idea! I love seeing the birds and how you engage the little hummers. Thanks!

Thank you for making this process so easy and uncomplicated. Your doggy appears to like your fountain too 🌈

Hi Robbie, I’ve been wanting a bird bath but they’re always so expensive. This is a great way to help our feathered friends. Thank you for what you do. I’ll be ordering a pump today. Take care. Hugs, Julie 🥰

Thank you for this awesome video that shows exactly what birds like and need. Can't wait to get started.

I enjoy your videos and your love of hummingbirds. I too, love hummers. 💚🐦

That looks so easy! I'll have to do that. :) Thank you, Robbie!

I'm going to make one. I have got some good tips from you. I got my first Hummingbird feeder I love it. I have been using the Tulle it keeps the bugs off my Collards and the rabbits off too. I like what you said about just removing the powdery mildew leaves from the squash and that you don't spray. This approach is working. Thank you and Gary for all you do😊

I am soooo glad I found you, I got a gift solar pump and the copper bowl is great because it does not grow any bacteria but the water kept running out, so I did put the rocks and that solved, my problem and also took off the sprinkles left just the bubbly pump and its lásting longer and its near the humminbird nectar I can not wait to see the birds use it, thanks for sharing your life with us❤❤❤and all you do for nature ❤❤❤

You are the best Robbie!! I learn so much from you!! And, you remind me of my very dear friend Rose who passed away a few years ago! ❤ You are my spirit animal!! ❤️

Robie I really love your videos. I love hummingbirds and all kinds of bird life. I am in Northern CA it gets so blasted hot here and we have no trees in our yard which birds need shade. I love these simple DIY. Thanks for sharing!

I think this is one of the easiest ways of bringing in the birds I’ve seen. One can buy a pump for as little as $12 - $14, I picked up a darling old bowl at the thrift store for $5: I’ll be getting my pump shortly, because this is a wonderful way to cool off the birds and bring them in to me so I can see them. I love this.

Thanks,thanks and thanks...love what you are doing...blessings!!!

Totally awesome videos love you and how that you have a big heart for these sweet little creatures you have some good ideas will be watching God bless you

Hello!I enjoyed the bird bathing..great ideas.warm greetings friend ❤

Hi Robbie, I love your channel already but you are the best for this one!!!... Florticulture is my passion and because I plant to grow my own cut flowers organically from seed, I am of course drawn to growing my own veggie and cut flower (container) garden here in Sacramento, zone 9...I recently found you a couple months ago and I'm thankful I did because I have a small shade patio on the second floor (yikes) but I'm learning so much frim you just in how to start small keep it simple, your channel is educational and fun...This video is truly a favorite though...Hummingbirds are beautiful ....It's a true testiment to how many goodies really there are in the garden Lol Flowers for the lady 💐💜💐 Thx for all you do Robbie & Blessings to you and yours! 😄

Thank you so much for the great ideas. All the fountains and birdbaths I have looked at are so expensive. Yours are great. Can't wait to watch your other videos.

Some years ago, I was all the time in my garden same as you,. Please may I move with you😂 I love nature, ponds, bird bath flowers and all what' s concern our little garden friends . I'm living in Québec Canada, south shore of Montréal of course we have to adapt our garden transformation with the temperature but it's my fun to be outside same if I only have a balcony in summer as garden. Less fun at 70's old but I try to find some fun every where with my flowers pots and the fontain you show me how to do . Please do not pay attention to my english mistake, I do my best and hope you understand my words . Have a beautifull day , tank's alot for each video you do 💟and let's the sunshine load all our solar pannels !

Don't be discouraged if they don't "bathe" right away. It took me three summers of getting it just right before I knew what would attract them to it. In no particular order: The right flow; not a drinking fountain arc of flow. Not near their feeders. Yes, near greenery/ plants / bushes. Not near where the other birds (seed-feeders) hang out. Not near where my dogs like to hang out (and can be within reach). These tips are just on my experiences and yours may vary but my point is do not be discouraged.

Hi Robbie….love your ideas..but the best one to me is the small usb fish tank pump. That was a complete game changer for me…thank you so much. Can’t wait to make my own bird bath. 😊

Hi Robbie, Thank you for sharing your tips about hummingbirds. I just started this exciting journey. I’m not sure how many birds I have. I think it’s three. It’s hard to tell. I get excited every time I see one at the feeder. I was sitting in the porch today and one just flew right up to me about 2 feet away. I wasn’t sure what to think. But I was thrilled. I have made two bird baths like the ones you demonstrated. Thank you. I haven’t seen a bird in it. I may be as excited as you. 😂

This video was random in my feed, and I love it!! I want our yard like this. Our stopper is enough cash, but a little at a time. I wonder if this would work inside too. Can’t wait to do this!

Hi Robbie, I love your enthusiasm for all things gardening and nature. I tried to buy some of these as gifts for me and people I know with kids who would love to make such an easy bird bath. I live in South East Queensland, Australia and tried to buy those solar pumps online, which are amazing! Unfortunately they don’t post to Australia, which is such a shame. We need to have a distributor here, which would be such a blessing! Sadly we don’t have hummingbirds, but with the lillypilly trees here when they bloom it brings in a lot of different nectar feeding birds, which are small and have similar long beaks.

Great idea Robbie thanks for the idea!
