Thank you Connie!

[@chadgartner5434]

Birdtastic Stephen, very good use of old busted mibs, better than sitting in some old jar for sure

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

Thanks Chad ! 🔴

[@danareed1656]

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

Thank you Dana

[@nbeizaie]

@@stephenbahrmarbles I want one! Where did you order it?

[@powerlinekid4296]

Nice project. Looks like you got enough broken marbles for a patio. I would have used clear Lexel sealant to glue marbles to saucer.

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

That sounds like a good option, I’m not sure which one would hold up the longest.I figure I could get 20 more years out of this saucer.

[@LeileeBaker805]

Ooh supercool

[@CS-bu9kd]

Very beautiful.., I like how you consider the bees too .. 🐝

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

[@ExtremelyBerry]

They looked absolutely incredible in their colour formations and patterns! I loved seeing a bit more of a Birdseye view of the marble with and they actually looked a bit like seeds lol God Bless 😎😍✝️🙌

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

KerryandBerry!! Thank you 😊 I hope all is well!🌟

[@ben11san]

amazing

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

Hey Ben!

[@massriverpickers]

Wow! Thanks for the idea. I do take the half marbles I find in the river home with me.. and "river marbles" always look better when wet! What do the birds think of this? (I know they see color) -Cathy🙂

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

Thanks Cathy ! They look a lot better underwater! I’ve had a few different species visit it in the first day so I think it will work fine. There was a hummingbird inspecting it a little while ago !

[@massriverpickers]

Well, I was really considering this project.. we already "had" the concrete bird bath. Yesterday a wild turkey landed on it, knocking the bowl off the pedestal, breaking two chunks off the bowl! Sigh.. stupid turkey!🦃 (Stupid us.. we feed them too well!)🙄 Anyways, I may still try something similar. BTW, I bought a large box of marbles at a bottle show. I've posted one on my community page, and already there is controversy (over ID). It's gonna be a long trip through this box of marbles! You are welcome to weigh in, (or not). Thanks again for the great birdbath idea! ( No birds over 15 lb please! ) -Cathy😁

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

Hi Cathy ! Sorry about the Wild Turkey 🦃, they can get pretty heavy for sure. I will check out your bottle show marble finds, maybe I can give you an opinion.

[@maryjoberry8229]

Nice to look at but I worry about the toxins in the glues and paints. Does that stuff become inert as it hardens? Thanks Bruce

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

Thanks Mary Jo , good question! I would think just like any of the man-made feeders or panted and concrete materials we use for the birds : they will become safe as they dry and cure. The bath has been up and running for a few days it seems to be as safe as anything else I’ve used, but I am not a chemical expert. The birds certainly have been using it.

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

(Oops : Bruce)

[@KirstenEvans232]

​@@stephenbahrmarblesI hear only latex or enamel products are safe.

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

@@KirstenEvans232 thanks Kristen, I suppose I didn’t research that well enough.

[@snowshadow11]

I just wondered would caulk not have been better than the black goo?

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

Hi Snow , Yes I think silicone caulk might be a very good idea. A few marbles from this bird bath have loosened and popped out , I’m using 2 part epoxy gorilla glue to set them back in . I think the Gorilla Glue might be the best option. But carefully, because it’s messy to work with. Good luck!

[@sislertx]

Everyone always has the bottom.... the tops.always break...wish this was a how.to makena.replacement

[@stephenbahrmarbles]

Right, you would probably want to make it from a concrete form. I’ve seen good KZbin videos covering that project.
