I made a hummingbird fountain, but, instead of hummingbirds… I have bees! I don’t mind so much. Bees here in the desert need water for sure. A couple weeks ago I bought 2 turkey basters, installed them on the big hummingbird playground I made with a cookie sheet. But the bees have taken it over! My hummingbirds love my 5 foot tall copper fountain that is shaped like a yucca plant. Water comes out the top and trickles down the “blossoms” and drips off the spikey leaves into a big copper basin. I have built numerous solar and electrical water features in my yard.. but the copper fountain is the one the birds love! Today I built the “hanging” fountain. It is hanging on a shepherds hook with a regular bird feeder and a hummingbird feeder. Now I want to make a kcup bubbler!

I wish we could share pics! I'm doing electroculture in my vegetable garden so I have a lot of copper and brass wire to be creative with bird baths. My problem isn't the bees coming around, I welcome them, it's the wasps that are loving my fountains. I don't want them and I'm highly allergic! I haven't found any positive qualities they have for my garden.

Wasps get a bad rap, but they are good. However, I do understand if you are allergic, you must protect yourself. “Wear light-colored, smooth-finished clothing. Avoid perfumed soaps, shampoos, and deodorants. Don't wear cologne or perfume.” I hope that helps.

You made my day. I started a wildlife garden/gardens a few years ago and learning as I go. I found out if you leave your yard untouched all year every year in about a 20’ radius. Our endangered lightening bugs will start using your untouched area to make their home. They need untouched land a year, because it takes that long for their life cycle to go around and most people don’t understand this and lightening bugs are disappearing rapidly. The cicadas use the area as well. They too have an all year life cycle and can’t be disturbed or they’ll die out. So I started thinking “ I need more water for the birds and bees. My bird bath doesn’t cut it. It needs to be filled and cleaned daily. I love all your ideas! I can’t wait to do this. My bird will be so happy, especially the cardinals. They’re obsessed with flowing water.

@mangot589 4 ай бұрын

I hear you. I don’t even mow my back yard, maybe once a year. It naturally dies back in the winter, I’ve found. I throw out wildflower seeds (well, I try, but the birds eat 99.9% of them🙄. I put out especially water, seeds, I do mow the front, but I’m happy to see that more people are allowing them to get a bit shaggy during spring. They put up the no mow March signs or whatever. I have a lot of trees in my yard for an urban area, and I let them be, as much as I can, anyway, and let the dropped leaves just stay there until well into spring so the bugs can have a safe place to winter over and be food for the birds , a bit of a dichotomy lol. I do have to clean them up eventually, there is a lot in a small area, and it’s a fire hazard. But every little thing helps, eh? I do my clean up once a year, when the leaves are very dry. And not bare ground, I try to leave just a little. I figure that’s the safest time. The chicks/bugs/whoever are done. Blessings to the people out there who care about this kind of thing, we take their survival, and should help out in any way we can.

I had a plant basin on an outdoor bird cage with water and a rock in the middle. The crows brought bread and it rotted in the water (to high to see what was going on) This is the perfect project for a fresh water (I have an R.O. setup so a regular supply of very good water) for the hummingbirds I feed during winter as they seem not to be interested with so many flowers here in west Los Angeles 5 miles from the ocean, but a bird bath has to bring them in. No wiring, no water line, works for me. Already ordered the pump. Thanks, I'll adapt for my own version but will be the same basic system. I have a small wired pump in a small fish tank that can be adjusted but saw no text about that for more or less flow.

Thanks so, sooooo much for the fabulous videos! Made two this morning…one for myself, one for my mom. Not sure I can post pics but will try. Paid about $10 for each solar pump, then two decorative buckets from Dollar Tree, and a four-pack of plates. Picked up a 20-pack of jumbo straws for about $2. Would opt for another kind in the future. Mine were “eco-friendly” and although they did work, they’re rather brittle. I grabbed empty, cleaned out goat cheese containers to rest atop the plates. So at most, $15 per fountain. Again, THANK YOU!!! 😍

Robbie, thank you for this video. The birds are so adorable in the fountain/bubbler. I know I have to make one because when I am out watering my garden the humming birds come to fly into the mist and drink the water off of the leaves of my plants. That tells me they are thirsty. I also did not know the importance of changing out the humming bird feeders and cleaning them out very often. Thank you!!!!! I hope I didn't injure any birds. I am making new nectar (it is cooling) as I write this. God Bless

Your ideas are so creative and your enthusiasm just sparkles. All the bubbler fountains are great as well as the feeders. So, so many hummers at one time is more than amazing. The dozen or so I normally have are always fighting and defending their chosen feeders. I have virtually no ground plants anymore for nectar and have never seen birds bathing in the pans of water I set out at different heights. I just hit thrift and dollar store today so I can follow your guidance in creating bubbles as you have. It's obvious the oxygen rich water created by the bubblers will provide what these creatures need so desperately. Last year I was daily making over a gallon of sugar food. I also had to divert the bees to specialize bee feeders on Macon jars. Then set them on bricks in containers of water to keep the ants at bay. I don't know how you keep up with the sugar water needs with so many feeders around. Perhaps a video of how you fill them all. I'm also wondering what region of SoCal you're in. I'm in San Diego county and I'm envious of your verdant yard. Your environment reminds me of Alpine or Julian. While prolonged heat these past summer has desolated mine with water cost so high and limited. Thank you again for sharing your innovations. 👏👍🙏❣️

@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy Жыл бұрын

You are doing great with all your hummingbirds. I just keep an eye out on my feeders all day, once low or out I clean and change them out. You could put some flowers out and flower pots. Hummingbirds generally don’t use a pan, that would be for the Orioles. We are more north of you. Take care ❤

I have stocked up so much stuff to make so many of your fountains that is almost confusing, where to start! LOL Turvey basters..check. Straws…check. Flower pots…check. And tubing, soldering, iron, etc. Now, this shoe box one is confusing me most because of the inverting of the lid. It looks like (to me) that it DOES have the manufactured indented pool right there on top, so why can’t the holes just be inside that margin, avoiding the edge all around the outside? I want to do this one because it obviously will hold more water than some other things AND it will be more stable in our sometimes high winds. Please advise as you’re the pro at these marvelous feeders! 😊

@synergy2222 Жыл бұрын

Robbie! What about making 2 bird baths, maybe in 2 different structures with one solar fountain? With your creativity you could use the small 1/4" irrigation tubing, and your handy dandy soldering iron to attach it to two different structures somehow - I'm sure of it. I've got plenty of it now since your videos on the tubing in the garden. If I have time, I'll try my creativity on that. But you'll be ahead of the game, I know it!

My experience with hot glue on non-porous surfaces is that it can quite easily lift off if it's in a wet environment. Rubber cement or contact cement doesn't seem to, so that might be worth trying sometime.
