[@gwenmartinsen3979]

I wanted to put holes in the bottom of several big ceramic pots, i wanted to use them as flower pots. I went to the local DIY store and got a diamond saw/ drill bit that cuts circles. You use it on a drill body, it goes on just like a regular drill bit. The guys at the store told me to be sure and keep water running over area you're drilling to keep the pot cool so it won't crack. So I took the pots outside, turned on the hose, and used my portable drill. It was easy.

[@BirdBath1]

🥰😎

[@greeniejeannie]

@Robbie! I put the cutest frog from the dollar store, perfect, hole in its mouth and it's bottom...I think it scared the birds because it has eyes? They are always in this fountain, I made with the ball like you showed us. After a year, and I found this little frog, I changed it up. NOW the birds come roaring in...and pull up! pull up! LOL

[@CopperBooom]

I think you could also change the flow pattern by using your hot tool to punch holes in the straw! Super cool idea my mind is racing with the possibilities!

Thanks Robbie, just went to your link and ordered 4 pumps. I love making these fountains and now can add one to each of my outside bird flights where I raise Zebra finch. They will love it! Never experienced a bird that likes to bath as much as they do. I live in Tucson, AZ with lots of sun but still have days of overcast and areas that don't receive enough sun to keep my fountains going all day and evening. These fountains are really appreciated by the wild birds and bees (boy, do bees love these fountains). Fun video, thanks Robbie.

I'm watching again after several months. When I saw this frog I loved it. Then a local was selling a planter with frogs sitting all around. A vintage mallorca. I had an electric but it has since broke. I want to make a lily pad to hide a future pump I buy.

[@kalinystazvoruna8702]

I watched your video a few years ago. While using those "power banks" seems to be a good idea, they're really nothing more than a battery which, after time, will need to be recharged again. I went the small solar panel route (panel's about 4 inches square?) and have been using that for the last three years. Works great and I don't have to unplug anything to charge up those "power banks". In fact, I loved the small solar panel and pump idea so much that I set one up in my micro pond so that the pump raises water into a pond filter which then percolates back into the pond. My fish are happy, my pond plants are happy, and I've even had a frog move in!

[@insanetxartist]

NICE! I recently cut the top off of a plastic jug to plant grape tomatoes in it. I up-cycled the top into a small fence mounted bird bath sealing the screw on lid with plumber's tape and re-purposing the wood from a failed squirrel-proof hanging bird feeder. I fastened the two together and then to the cyclone fence. I piled in some river stones I had on hand so bees and butterflies as well as smaller birds could safely drink or bathe. I hadn't stepped away more than 5 minutes when one of the resident robins came in for a drink. Since it has the little shelf there, I can easily tuck a power bank under it through what was originally the jug handle. I can't wait to give them moving water! I just started feeding the hummers last year with a single feeder. It took a while for one little bird to find it. This year I've seen at least 3 different ones and even a couple of hungry butterflies using it. The rule here is I can't have anything on the ground other than in a couple of flower beds, so I have to get crazy inventive adding features for the wildlife and what bits of food I can try to grow. So your innovative ideas lend themselves to my weird brain adapting them to my particular situation. I appreciate that!

When I was searching for something on KZbin about hummingbirds I came across one of your videos. Loved it. Then another and another. Somehow, you're so easy to connect with. We lived in Pasadena and Big Bear for years before moving back East to take care of aging parents. It's people like you that make me miss California so much. I absolutely adore you! As I type this, I'm outside under a covered carport. I have seven feeders right here and I'm surrounded by hummingbirds. Life is pretty grand! Thank you Robbie! xoxo

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

Oh, that is so cool you have hummingbirds still back East, so they stay all year? I will have to say, you may miss Calif. but it is so darn expensive to live here, I am only here because I was born and raised here, and was smart enough to buy a house when I was only 18 years old....for under about 17,000....that is what got me started. THANKS, Robbie

[@bobbymcgovern]

Robbie, I'm in South Carolina. I am going to leave the feeders out this winter. It's always in the 40's or 50's during the day during the winter. It does freeze at night but not for long. I've always brought them in because someone told me that's what one does. I should have done my research I guess!! It's only been 10 yrs since we left Big Bear but we could never afford to move back. Biggest mistake we ever made......:( Take care!! Bobby

Her is an Idea to keep the plastic container from wobbling .Drill 4 holes around the sides so the water will suck through not under the container That will stop it from moving like it is .

I really dig how you’re not concerned with the aesthetic, sooooo many channels and so called “influencers “ seem to be so caught up with having this lifestyle that LOOKS perfect and it has tendency to make me feel inadequate. It’s clear you’re concerned with the important stuff : doing right by nature , spending as less as possible to create your garden , being creative and sharing your knowledge. I hope in few years when our house is paid off , my husband and I can start gardening and birding TOGETHER and going this same route , few years ago he was on unemployment one summer and he grew a better garden than I ever could 😜🤷🏼‍♀️.

They even feed when I am close-by tending my plants. They seem to know I am good and they are safe. Such a great feeling to watch them hang around. My goal is to create what you have created. A shangrila for the birdies. There are allot of hawks that fly my area so I have to be careful not to set up a trap for the little birds.

[@melissajarvis4829]

That would be a great idea!!! You might also want to warn about/ address other dangers. Meaning how to place feeders to not attract predators in general, including cats. Years back, my sister had a feeder hanging from her awning (up high) but had a hummingbird swoop low. A cat jumped up and got it. She felt sooooo bad.

A few is great, that means they are there. The birds really do know whom is feeding them, they are so smart, and at times can be very demanding too. Just thought I'd share this idea for people that have a very shady yard or covered yard or patio and no AC outlet, as this will work for those, thanks so much, Robbie

@@melissajarvis4829 That can be true, but the truth is their life is dangerous all the time, many even get hit by cars, all we can do is our best, thanks, Robbie

[@melissajarvis4829]

@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy I love this idea, but I'm also having a hard time figuring out a "safe" place in our yard. Our patio table by the living room window would be lovely and perfect accessibility-wise for me, but I feel that it is just too cat accessible. We had some cats that would get up there and sit on it looking in the window to let us know they wanted food. Lol! (FYI-We made the decision quite some time ago not to have any outdoor cats, and then proceeded to have a series of semi-feral cats adopt us! Now our neighbors' cats visit our yard...)

[@melissajarvis4829]

@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy I wasn't trying to be negative! I just thought that it could be helpful for those who may have cat visitors to their garden, to think about placement. Just like you said the hummers like to have a bushy plant nearby, for cover while they are drying, it probably should also be in an open area, so that they can see any land predators approach. Like Rooby Dooby Doo above, I also have hawks visit our yard, so I assume some aerial protection is needed as well.

Hi, I am so inspired for you. I put food in my two hummer feeders but so far no hummers. I did have some big birds hanging upside down on it. Then I built a bird bath fountain from a bowl and frog I got at the Goodwill store. It uses the usb on the new power bank I bought. But lo and behold it did not spray above the tube. I was about to send it back but looked at the instructions first to see if I was doing something wrong. The print was so tiny I couldn't read it so I put it in the sun and I read that there is a regulator on the pump!! I turned it up and now it works fine. I love it but the birds have yet to discover it. I brought my two Yorkies inside and I put some rocks in the bowl for them to land. I am not sure how to send you a pic of it. Thanks!! Robbie!! I love your ideas!!!

@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy I love watching your videos. You inspire me . Thank you. Much appreciated.

[@robertbongiorno4400]

You will have to ensure the connectors stay dry and clean when outside. The downside is you will have to plug and unplug the battery units in order to charge them, hence they need to be in good working order (clean). If you use the combo solar + battery pack, that may be better, depending on how well the panel charges the battery and supports the pump too.

[@mam564]

Robbie, I ordered 5 of these (from China) on Ebay and just received them today! I'm so excited and wanted to thank you for sharing this idea! Just love your channel!

I ordered 4 of those solar pumps after seeing your video on them. I can't wait to put some water out there for the birdies and make it fun for them .

I've also picked up some beautiful bowls and little statuary (girl w/umbrella, birds,etc) or even (turned over) a pretty flowerpot, from thrift stores. The frog-type statues are also usually available at craft stores (Hobby Lobby, JoAnn's Etc., Michael's) usually in spring & summer. If you don't want to purchase a Dremel tool, there are also drill bits for drilling ceramics, I found a set of 3 different sizes for around $10.00 at the hardware store. This looks like fun, and will be a fun project this winter, to be getting ready for spring in the midwest.
