Great idea

Absolutely,, i watch as i do my painting or embroydery.. so peaceful.. my cat loves it too.. :)

Wonderful video.. love it! Watch with my cat,, is fun to watch my cat watch vid .. double the fun !😃

[@neighbourhoodwitch18]

LIFESAVER!! Using this for our very temperamental little 7 year old mog; I think her tapping the screen and checking behind the iPad to see where the birdies have flown off to is one of the sweetest things imaginable. Thank you, from me and from Sid 🥰 🐈‍⬛

[@ladyjeani]

To me there is nothing more pleasing to the soul than Birds, and next is butterflies. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video, I love it.

[@LensMyth]

thanks! there's a lot of butterflies here too, maybe one day I can make a butterfly video....

[@jodyhahn825]

That snake at 23:35! Wow!

[@LensMyth]

Yes! I know I'm surprised by how much goes on around here when I'm not watching. I'm sure that snake is under my house right now, he doesnt look venomous though...

[@LydiaPasut-xp6wi]

❤😊I love birds in a birdbath

[@TheSistercuervo]

My cat Loves this! The sounds really attracted her and she's fascinated by the fluttering birds.

[@HeavnzMiHome]

This could have been my former garden. Good memories. I’m m saving this one. However we didn’t have cardinals. Too bad.

[@LensMyth]

The Cardinals are very popular here, they outnumber most other birds in my garden anyway, and are a bit aggressive too.

[@131dyana]

Thank you I was doing my chore and watching the birds. You are very kind to share this. God bless.

My cat was lying down, watching the birds. When he saw the snake, he sat up tall, flattened his ears, and glared at it intensely, watching its every move.

[@SB_McCollum]

My cat who never touches the screen went after the snake!

Came back to watch again. Nice. Made my day. Flutter flutter splash splash tweet tweet chirp. Lap lap (the dog) was a nice touch, the blue jay has really great color on its wings - looks like stained glass.

That's great! I always think about how this video was an accident, I just wanted to see what was going on there over the course of a day, didn't even use my good camera! Bluejays ARE really cool, this one surprised me when he started honking: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ6akmecosyHgZY

These are the best vidios on utwo to me for years iv Ben with you cause your vidios the color is beautiful the different birds and things the water it's all just so beautiful and perfect relaxing. And no music to mess it up music would mess it up cause we all want to hear and see the pretty birds without music we can I also sleep with your pretty relaxing vidios you put a lot of work in your vidios and I want to just thank you a lot. I'm so relaxed watching

[@LensMyth]

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback it's very helpful. I'm glad you found this one, this birdbath was the start of bird baths being a permanent fixture here, after I saw how popular it was with such a variety of birds.

[@jadorejonas07]

I play this every night for my cat and she will knead a fuzzy blanket and watch the video. After a few times of doing this I realized I loved listening to it too. It hasn't been above 20 degrees for at least the past month and there's no sign of the weather getting any warmer for at least another month so watching this and listening actually makes me happy and relaxed. Thank you!

I play this every morning, around the same time, and as soon as my birds hear the intro, they start their dayly bathing.😃 So funny, the sounds of the birds shaking water off of their feathers, really gets them going! I wish I could find more, with those sounds, that last as long as this one. My birds just Love It!👍😉

I don’t have a cat or a dog, LOL! I’m a birder for 20 years now. Just found your site a few weeks ago and just love the hell out of it! My goodness, a dream come true! We have a yard we built here in AZ, about ten feeders. I used to live in the desert in WA state and enjoyed building a certified backyard sanctuary. Middle of the suburb and we got geese and ducks, pheasants and quail even gulls. I’m finally getting ready to put a second water feature in. I have a fountain, my fountain in WA must have had the perfect shelves and water levels because the birds bathed constantly. This fountain they just won’t bathe in. So I was going to go to the fountain that sits on the ground, it’s very popular, looks a lot like just the top of yours. But now I see yours...I’m loving it! Could you please post a wider more comprehensive view of your set-up? I’d like to copy yours. I already put the items in my cart on Amazon for the tubing etc. OH! Is that your dog? How beautiful! I’m missing the 36 years I lived in WI, it’s been a long time not seeing cardinals and chick-a-dees. It seems I keep moving to deserts! We have lots of birds as AZ is lush with vegetation. Lots of people think AZ is dry and sandy and ugly brown. But the first time I visited here I was blown away at how many trees and flowering bushes and plants here. I have a brush pile I’m working on right now. It’s not big enough yet but the towhees like to use it. I had an 8 foot by 9 foot one in WA, and when the hawks were around I got to see some awesome evasion tactics sparrows and juncos and white crowned sparrows using the pile! I never get tired of watching birds. Keep up the great work, I’m able to see all the birds that I miss from WI. I’m a little melancholic watching this video. Husband and I moved to AZ for my rare lung disease and two of our kids and grand babies live here. Boy I do miss WA mountains also; can’t live in any kind of elevation. Blue jays! There are so many birds I miss. I became disabled from the lung disease 12 years ago, wow how time flys, so I keep your videos playing all day to keep me company at home. Oh, a question, I don’t see any aggressive birds on here. I’m referring to starlings or grackles. Grackles down here would eat everything and dominate our yard if I put up any food that isn’t contained. They are so annoying! I built a cage for smaller birds to get into and then eat out of a ground feeder. THAT solved the grackle problem. ( I just bought the square plastic covered wire cubbies people use to build shelves). It works great tipped upside down on the ground. Thank you so very much for all your hard work! I am going to take a nap accompanied by your videos. Till next time!

[@LensMyth]

Beth. First of all, I appreciate your comments. I wish I had the moxie to live out loud more like you do. When you share about yourself freely (even just online!) it helps people learn new things, and even rebuilds confidence that there still is a community of intelligent people out there that are willing to stand up for what right. Thanks for using your gift-of-gab for good! As for the birdbath in the video, I must admit that each video I upload is of a unique setup that I tear down at the end... otherwise I'd go outside and snap a pic! I'm setting up a new birdbath in the next couple weeks from a mold and some concrete mix. This video is the first time I'd seen a bird in water or even drinking from water, it was wild! The day before I had found a wren trapped in a big bucket after a rain and I couldn't figure out why he went in there in the first place... now I know! Location of the fountain seems to be key- Close to the ground (as close as possible) and near to cover (like your brush pile) but not too close that a cat might jump out. Of course the sound of water helps them find it, but for me it doesn't seem to matter as much as the other stuff.

[@LensMyth]

You have me worried about the grackles! I am as surprised as you that I haven't had any troublemakers or even ONE squirrel visit my feeders. maybe because I take them down each week and then put up a new one? I will be rereading your comments to remember how to solve the problem one day I'm sure.

[@LensMyth]

Beth I lived in AZ for many years as well, and even though I moved away I landed in a hot sandy and impossible to grow grass part of SC. My friend from AZ came to visit me last year and actually gave me the idea to make these so-called CAT TV videos of the bird feeders. It's been fun and I am always interested to know who is watching the videos and what they like or want more of.

[@TheBeachMawMaw]

I'm glad you're enjoying it too. It was pretty exciting for me when I was filming it, I couldn't believe the amount of activity! The other birdbath ones I made after turned out better I think, but this one was memorable because it was so new and kinda impromptu.

[@LensMyth]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpzZhpttfdymnZY This is a slightly different birdbath but the idea is the same. it spills into basin underneath and a small aquarium pump sends most of it back up through a tiny hose. I have the the faucet also dripping a good amount of fresh water into the basin so between that and the spillage it keeps it quite clean!

Hi. Where do you purchase your bird bath bowls? I'm looking for a lightweight material like resin that easier to lift. How high do you place the baths and do you have any issues with squirrels? I have quite a few in my garden and wonder if they'd deter the birds if the bath was near ground level.You have a lovely space!

[@LensMyth]

This birdbath is from Lowes, about $20 for the bath part. I set it low to the ground, for a few reasons, but dogs and other animals use it too. It should work fine on a pedestal. Squirrels here aren't too troublesome, and when they are in the feeders and bath, the birds just wait for them to leave, not really deterred by their presence. As long as the birds can rely on it being there with water in it, they'll start using it. Placing it nearby to bushes or trees to fly away to, helps them feel safe, too. They really prefer it not too deep, I have a plastic one from Amazon that they never use because it's too steep / deep. I saw them using a puddle on a nearby tarp instead!

[@reeseb8520]

Thanks for the info!

Catbirds love raisins and small sections of grapes if you are trying to attract them to your birdfeeders. I also put grape jelly in a small container that is inside an enclosed platform feeder and they love that too. WRZ 2021-07-01
