Hummingbirds need shallow water to play and bathe. They like to fly thru a mist of water but I don't have any misters. I may buy one if the pump will push enough water for the mister.

I coincidentally made the same thing last year, simple inexpensive and birds love it but most 5 gallon buckets are not UV resistant and become brittle in a short time....the only 5 gal bucket I could find made with UV inhibitors was a Yeti brand but at $40 each they're a bit pricey.

You are right, they do get brittle, particularly the lid. The birds like orange so I just go to home depot and buy another lid or bucket. First bucket lasted 4 years so it's a cheap fix.

Sorry, I was never notified you commented. Home depot bucket with 10 holes drilled along the outer portion of lid to drain back into bucket with hole to accept tubing in the center. Aquarium pump I dont remember the size but a smaller one and tubing that will fit the pump that sit on bottom of bucket.

Looks perfect. Do the hummingbirds like it?

I have some pics or videos somewhere of them getting in. They like to sit on the tube coming out.
