You should consider adding a sand pit somewhere in the area, as birds also like to sand bathe. It helps quite a bit with their feather maintenance, as well as keeping pests away.

Don't bother with the expensive pond foam - it's identical to normal expanding foam, it's just black. Home Depot has black spray foam, I use that. It's not water proof, it just helps direct water, so definitely use the cheaper option next time. And yes, keeping that cheaply made flex hose inside the liner is best. If I had to guess, it's a 20ft roll from Canadian Tire. It will become brittle and crack anywhere exposed to the sun. Mine did it right at the pump connection, which was the deepest, so not sure they are made to last more than 2 seasons. And it turned out gorgeous!! Ha, don't worry, the 'pros' wing it all the time. Turned out great!

Times like this is when I appreciate KZread. Thanks

Simply amazing! I have redone mine several times trying to get it right. I have come to the conclusion that the wildlife doesn’t care. I highly recommend adding some plant life to eat up the algae that will accumulate. I had to dig out a deeper section at the lower end of mine to put potted water plants in it and it made a huge difference in the quality of my water, but I’m sure you already know that :)

That reminds me of a question I had while watching this. I've only ever had long-term success with a glass birdbath that's easy to clean, since every other birdbath I've experimented with seemed to need a lot of frequent cleaning to get rid of algae, dirt, fallen leaves, etc. Especially when there were loose river rocks in the birdbath. I was scrubbing off those loose stones every weekend, and I have a decent solar-powered pump with a filter system. So how do you keep the birdbath clean enough for birds to keep using it?

@NatureFilmsByJohnKha

8 ай бұрын

@@Cyssane Good question! There's so many variables that can make it challenging! Keep the bird bath out of the sun and in the shade to minimise algae growth and also copper pieces helps too, such as old copper coins. I use river stones for their smooth surface and avoid porous stones, I do stick with smooth surfaced bird baths too as they're easier to clean. I have a dedicated brush and some vinegar nearby if I need a good clean! Glass can get heavy so I have switched to hard UV protected plastic of late
