    Got one these solar bird bath fountains after looking at them on amazon and of course a week later Alexa informed of the price drop on one model.Took a chance for $9.99 USD working pretty good so far hope the birds and such enjoy it too.

    I got one a few years back. My birds don't go to any water bath with these in them. They do love the bird baths though. I'm interested to know if your birds frequent these fountains and what variety of birds like them. My American Robin's do not. I however like the sound of the water falling. Maybe I could find a people sized one

    I was at Tractor Supply the other day (it's right next to the grocery store) and they have large wooden half barrels that would do for a small pond. You could put some water hyacinthe or even water lilies in it. I thought I might wait'll they go on sale, put my fountain in it and a plant or two and have my own little water feature. But not til they go on sale because they want $69 bucks for them !! :eek:

    Wow. That’s a flash bit of kit, mate.
    Do birds frequent it yet? That birdbath/fountain has an unusual look. I imagine that the birds will especially like it when the weather gets hot.
