LOVE LOVE LOVE how you have inspired me, you literally changed my life, I started gardening and bringing birds to my (new) container garden because of finding your inspiring videos this year. I am struggling chronic illness and watching the birds that come is THE BEST TV/Entertainment I could ever of asked for, cancelled cable. Have a purpose each day to get up and check on my garden. I feel very blessed and have a new found purpose in life...praying my health will improve as I continue to garden...it’s been very very rough over past 7 years as I’ve progressively gotten much more sick, but regardless of what happens to my life I feel very blessed to have found some peace in the garden I started it wirh $6 totes and the humming bird and wild bird feeders I now get to enjoy. I just wanted to say THANK YOU and BLESS YOU
OMG, I am speechless...You are such an inspiration for all here, and I will say, that the most important thing when anyone is ill or not feeling well is to keep our stress levels down and to FEEL good/happy inside, and that is when our body can do what it needs to do to heal. Your gardening will keep you HAPPY busy, and the birds in your area will know you are bring life to your yard by your gardening, so they will be there for you to enjoy. Remember, for the birds to come and stay, they need Water, Food and a place they can dart into to hide; I now have hummingbirds in my rainbow garden hiding in my totes in the broccoli, so funny. You are so welcome, but most of all, Thank you so much 😊
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy THANK YOU
Laura, you are such an amazing person! Thanks for your joy and indomitable spirit! Hope your garden brings you joy and peace for years to come! ❤️🕊
@@BlondeBomb79 your story touch my heart and I'm literally in tears right now as I type this, so inspiring. I'm so happy to hear that you found a purpose and not let this illness stop you from getting out of bed. Yes there is something very peaceful about garden especially when there are birds, butterflies and other nature friends around. I enjoy sitting on my garden swing and watch birds drinking and taking bath and every now and then I'm blessed to see deers stopping by which makes everything all better. Looks like I'm going to try to make this fountain as add on. I might not know you but I'll be thinking of you 🙏. Keep doing what you're doing and everything is going to be ok.

I just wish these adorable little brats loved each other as much as you love them. 😃
aren't you worried about the Styrofoam putting out fumes from the heat? Also, is the acrylic safe for the birds?
👏
She did put a coat of paint on the ball. I doubt hummers would be affected by fumes from the ball.
Agree the styrofoam and paint is poisonous to birds
I believe that she does most of her projects outdoors, because of the fumes.
On my first attempt the paint didn't completely dry and was washing into the water. I repainted it with a thick coat and let it dry for a week. It's no longer affected by the water and is safe for the birds. I'm going to try it out after a few days of testing indoors
This is very cute! I'm just wondering though, is the styrofoam safe for the birds? And just wondering if it would mold inside? How is yours holding up?
Good idea. I would have never thought to use styrofoam. Thank you! Happy Mother's Day to all women around the world 🌎
The same to you miss
Dear lady !.
You are a hummingbird's angel.
Thank you so much 😊
What a nice thing to do, that made their day and probably saved a few lives in the process. No one knows where every hummingbird comes from nor how far they have flown without water. I love it and may do this next year in March, we really don’t have a real winter. Take care and thanks for the wonderful information.
Thanks, Take Care 😊
How amazing. They actually waited for you to turn it back on with the battery bank. 💕
It was so sad to watch them TRY to get that water, I had to do something, and it worked out well, Take Care 😊
You’re inspiring and you’re kind.
Thank you so much 😊
Hi Robbie, I found you about two weeks ago. I began playing your hummingbird videos on my tv and listening while I worked in my home. I have had several great feeders but never put them out. Your encouragement and common sense expertise gave me motivation to put them out. It has been such a joy! Then I began listening to and watching your gardening tours. OMG you are truly a genius! Your innovative ideas and insights should be part of a university curriculum! You have an amazing brain! You are a thinker!!! I subscribed so I could learn from you. I have been caring for my husband who had minor surgery. He has never supported my gardening aspirations. I used to have small areas where I grew some basic veggies. Your ideas have given me great ideas and while he has been bedridden I purchased the variety of potting soils or gardening soils that were on clearance. I went to a local thrift shop and got some amazing items that will make awesome bird baths. I had four pumps for fountains that I had never made fountains for, until I watched your various fountain ideas. Your creative ideas have inspired me. I went to Home Depot and got cement products for use in my yard. There is a medium called Hypertufa which is Portland Cement mixed with Peat Moss. It can be used to make flower pots, decorative items and BALLS which can be used for your awesome hummingbird baths. I bought a ball to use like you did and I’m going to go to the thrift store to look for glass globes. The cement can be added then when it’s dry you just put it in a bag and break the glass to reveal the masterpiece. I ordered Tulle and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. Anyway......Awesome Lady from California, Thank you, you are such a blessing to the world! Take care and God Bless! Julie from Utah!
Boy, wait till He get out of bed and he sees how busy you have been! Pray for a speedy recovery...OMG, thank you SO much for all this.
I have been trying to attract hummingbirds to my outdoor space for four years now at three different homes (moved three times due to a bad flood at my previous home) and tried everything including fountains. Then I realized I might have my fountain too close to my back door and window since a lot of activity is near there but so is the power outlet. I finally decided to get a solar pump for under $20 and convert my existing fountain to solar so that I could place it farther away from my door and closer to the food sources. My pump arrived yesterday and I set it up today. I almost lost it when I saw two hummingbirds fly down and check out my fountain and then they saw the feeders and came back about an hour later to feed. I could not believe it. Thank you so much on all your ideas. I was about to give up after trying for years.
Perfect, and also keep your feeders where they can see them, have fun, Thank you so much 😊
Where did you get pump?? Was it expensive ??$🤔
AWWW!!! You are soooo sweet!!! I love how you love your hummingbirds!!! One of mine was inches from my face this morning just hanging out checking me out as I sat under my pop up canopy drinking my coffee. They do this a lot every year after I set it up. LOVE IT!!
😊
Robbie, this is awesome. I ordered a solar pump. Love the Styrofoam ball. Will be doing it. Thanks for all you do
Could you recommend where to buy these? I thought I'd have to plug it in..solar is awsome! ☺️
Awesome! Thank you! Take Care 😊

@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy Thank you Robbie! I ordered 2 of them from your link, and they work great!
I just LOVE this idea for a bird bath with the solar pump! 😍 It looks SO simple, and I have nearly everything to make it! Living in a retirement community with a tiny outdoor patio, this will make an excellent draw for the birds, plus give many of my neighbors enjoyment as well. And hopefully educate my grandchildren too!
Brilliant! I just love your idea. Also, I love what a loving compassionate person you are. You are an inspiration!
Thank you so much! 😊❤️💕
You are such a sweetheart. I love your projects and how loving you are our the birds of the world.🙋♀️ I also love❤ hummingbirds. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful ideas and projects❤🙏❤
Happy Mother's day Robbie, thanks for sharing!!!
Same to you! Thank you, Take Care 😊
Yes! Robbie, I love you! I live in Central Illinois. I saw my first hummingbird at my feeders. I have been praying for them to come! I was washing dishes ....there it was!
Wonderful!!! Thank you so much 😊
Those blessed little humming birds!! You are so sweet to add your power bank so the water would still run for them.
Thank you for this wonderful and simple way to make a fountain!!
You are so welcome, Thank you so much 😊
This is so awesome! I just ordered thru Amazon a soldering iron and a solar fountain pump! 🙂 Thank you for this inspiration! Crazy awesome!
I watched this video yesterday and today while beachcombing, I found a Styrofoam model head... like a human head! It's so cool and the second I laid eyes on it, I knew it was going to this project! It's gonna look so cool! I ordered two solar pump kits, so I can even do another. Thank you for the inspiration!!!
OKAY, that is VERY COOL!!!! Thanks so much! Take care!
I’d like to see a pic of that!!! Lol🗣💦
I had to rush out of town so I havent put it together yet but the pumps arrived in my absence, perhaps I could make a quick video when I do, giving our good Robbie of a Thousand Hummingbirds credit. (That's her title in my home conversations! XOXO) Sometime in the next month, Illl make it, share it and see it I can tag her.
This is amazing! I love my hummers and this will make an excellent addition to my hummingbird haven. Thanks so much for sharing!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!!!
Love your enthusiasm.
Thank you! Happy Mother's Day!!!
Thank you and you too, Take Care 😊
I can’t wait to get started ♥️♥️♥️Happy Mother’s Day 💐💐🌼🌸
THANK YOU and HAPPY MOTHER'S day to you, THIS fountain is a blast!!! I am making them for gifts, more to come to come on this FUN STYLE of birdbath! Again, THANK YOU!
This is so awesome! I’m glad you were able to make their day. They were so heartbroken when the water stopped.
I know!! Glad I had that little pump on hand, Thank you so much 😊
My beautiful sister you never now how much you inspire so many sisters and friends to do something like that, especially if they have some kind of incapacity ,someone could do it for them and here we go , they could have such amazing nature kind of love. So much grateful my dear Sister you're from heaven.
I just love your channel! Your ingenuity never ceases to amaze me! I'm definitely going to do this! Thank you, for brightning up ours ( and the hummingbirds) lives! Happy Mother's Day! ;0)
Thank you so much!
I would love to be able to find inexpensive solar fountains. Great ideas
My friend just got a ball bubble bath for the hummers !!!! Thanks , Robbie for encouraging us !!!!
God Bless you , and God Bless hummingbirds !
Thanks so much ❤️
This is the cutest thing ever!! 😍
Thank you so much 😊
How fun, and a great save in the evening! Way to go Robbie...hope your Mother’s Day was wonderful! THANKS TOO!
Very nice quiet day, Thank you so much 😊
I L O V E your enthusiam!
Robbie, I love your heart and dedication! You are awesome!
Thank you so much 😊
That is so sweet Robbie! Momma came to the rescue🥰
SO sad to watch them, all is good, Thank you so much 😊
Those are some lucky hummingbirds!
They are adorable, Thank you so much 😊
I’m speechless, you are amazing, this is awesome! Thank you so much Robbie!
It was so odd to see how the birds wanted that ball on as the sun was setting, Thank you so much 😊
Absolutely love this idea. I've been struggling with the ball/cement method. This will be so easy to make. I bought 5 of those battery powered pumps a year or so ago and haven't used them yet. The combo is perfect. Thanks Robbie... my hummingbirds will be so happy.
Wonderful! I had a feeling most would not want to deal with cement, this is even better and more fun, Take Care 😊 (I just order 6 more Green Balls now)
You are so full of love!!! You make me happy… sometimes! 😂 just kidding…. I love you… I’m in Los Angeles and you inspire me to love hummingbirds they love the nectar!! Thank you and God bless you🥰🌺💐💐💐
Thank you 😊
What a fantastic video. I saw my first hummingbird for this year yesterday. I hung up my newest feeder but have not cleaned the ones from prior years yet. Now I need a fountain. Easy and inexpensive, everyday items and simple instructions and tools. I plan one for front and back yards. The best part was the battery operation. Not as sunny in the Northeast as California. That hummingbird looked so disappointed. You are definitely hummingbirds best friend.
The hummingbirds are amazing and sweet to watch, Just so glad I had the little battery operated pump so I could get it set up fast, Thank you so much 😊
I LOVE YOU!!! Oh my gosh, my hummingbirds are SO IMPORTANT to me! I love them. Thank you so much for your tips and advice to make them happier!!!
You are so welcome! Thanks so much 😊
This lady is amazing!!! Not for doing such a project but because she made especial for the birds i hope she knows that God helps those who love his defendless creatures like the birds
Your video inspired me to make a hummingbird fountain for myself. I love the result and wish I was able to post a picture of it so you can see what you inspired!
I love her - she makes everything simple and fun to do- her joy is infectious. My birds will love her too.
Robbie, I am so excited. I just made the hummingbird water fountain yesterday. (took less than an hour to make) and today I just saw my first hummingbird laying/bathing on the fountain. This is so thrilling for me. I've watched your tutorial on hummingbird feeders and how to make the mixture. I've had my hummingbird feeder up for about a month now and the hummingbirds love it. At first they fought over it and now they all take turns drinking up the sweet concoction. I am just amazed that it took less than one day for a hummingbird to bathe on the fountain. Thank you so much Robbie for your positive attitude in your videos and for showing us viewers inexpensive ways to make the hummingbirds happy. Just know that you may not be able to see it, but you bring smiles and joy to us. Thanks for making these videos.
The way you care for the wildlife in your garden and especially helping out these thirsty hummers you are the best Robbie! Way to go!
FANTASTIC ❤
Thanks 😊
Wow, do you know how many points you are earning from the good Lord by taking care of His delicate creations. Your videos bring a smile and a joy in my heart.God bless.
I love how you make this affordable for anyone to enjoy. You are a bright light in the world. Your spirit glows. Thank you
I followed your instructions, left it there for at least a week and didn't see any hummers. Just for context I live in the center of a large city in a 2nd floor condo. But then one day I forgot to plug it in early. One of them came onto my deck and hovered there looking at it, went to my bedroom window, then the slider looking inside for me. I went out and plugged it in and within 2 minutes he was back. A hummingbird splashing around in water is one of the most enjoyable things I've ever seen. Ill admit, they're not fond of me watching them, so I just stay away and give them space. Thank you for this...I never would have been able to see this with my own eyes without it! And thank you for finding the power bank for the little guy:)
This is adorable! I need another solar pump! Haha. Thanks,Robbie, happy mother's day!
Have fun, Take Care 😊
I can't wait to make this. I'm so glad I found your channel. I've subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your videos. I'm amazed at how the hummers don't fight over the bath. Anytime I've had feeders out, the hummers are so territorial. But maybe that's because I've never lived where there are this many hummers at once. You create fabulous videos, and I really appreciate them. I like to make gifts for friends and these are just the kind I like.
I made 2 foam fountains about a week ago and this morning I watched them take a bath!! Sooo stinking cute!! Love it thank you!! I enjoy watching!!!
This is such a great idea and works so well! Those hummingbirds love you!😊❤
I had a hard time finding then 5/16" ID tubing, so I used milkshake straws. They're bigger than notmal straws. I taped 2 together with duct tape and it works great!!! 50 straws for $3.79. I made this fountain for my Mom for Mother's Day and a planted arrangement with flowers that Hummingbirds love ❤️ ❤ Thank you for sharing this fun project!
I think I need one or two of these too....so precious to see them bathing. Going to look for links to these, thank Robbie, yes Happy Mother's Day to ya too.
Thank you so much 😊
I’ve forwarded this video on to my kids and Facebook friends. I’m getting others excited about this project too. 😁👍🏻❤️
Here is a link to the power bank pump Video, czcams.com/video/Fb-NDhQbmtg/video.html Take Care 😊
That is amazing because you make it so easy and with materials that are easily available to anyone. I have been planning to make one for some time. Most plans I have found are so expensive I was considering buying one instead. I will make one like yours soon. I just have to find a place to site it so my neighbors cats don't kill the birds. Somewhere shaded to keep the water cool but with access to sun for the solar collector and where I can watch the birds.
Maybe a bit high on some sort of narrow stand so the cat can't get to it, Thank you 😊
Headed to craft store after work. Perfect...
I absolutely LOVE this idea!!🥰
Thanks for all your tricks to feeding birds and humming birds! I love them all!😍
Thanks 😊
Gosh, this is so adorable, I love birds and seeing them enjoy this homemade contraption is awesome! 💕🕊️🤗
Watched your video and made a version of the fountain with five gallon bucket and lid. The hummingbirds come all day it has bought so much enjoyment too me……..thank you for sharing!
Hi. Robbie and lil miss Adorable Kitty. Nora here. My husband and i. Went out to Walmart and the Dollar store. We bought some styrofoam balls and painted them one looks like a rock and one your colours the Mossy looking one. And one my husband painted to look like the Earth . Thanks for your Awesome Ideas. Were getting started on the fountains. We made 1 last summer a water solar fountain. Placed it on our Bedroom Balcony. We enjoyed Watching them on the Humming bird feeders and there solar bath. We bought these red tubular flower tree for the balcony they sit and perch on it. My husband and i would like to Thank you and Gary and lil Miss Kitty for all your videos. Se you. Take care and be well.
Love this! Another fountain coming up!😊💖
Yay! Thank you! Take Care 😊
I bought all the stuff so wish me good luck the ball is the only thing I’m concerned with.
I wish you luck, now if the ball doesn’t work out I have another method coming out soon, hopefully soon, and we can still use that ball no matter what, good luck have fun the birds love it 😊
I LOVE your fix with the power bank-brilliant! 😊
Thanks! 😊
That's great! Thank you Robbie, and Happy Mother's Day to you! 🕊️💖🌹🙏🏼🌺🦋
Thanks so much! Take Care 😊
I didn’t have a brush so I used cotton balls. Worked out perfect! Love it
I absolutely love this! Robbie, you do not cease to amaze me with your ingenuity. I am making this ASAP.
I absolutely love your videos on how to make hummingbird bird baths! I'm in Michigan so I will have to wait until spring to put some up l can't wait! I have a bird bath that l want to use with the upside down plastic cup and solar water pump in. I have the perfect spot in my yard for it. With lots of sun and flowers. I look forward to seeing more of your videos! Have a wonderful day!
Wonderful! Thanks!
Here is a video on controlling ANTS that I did: czcams.com/video/VkWG6UGXmuk/video.html
I love your videos! You are so refreshing and sweet and upbeat! I love hummingbirds so much! Not until I watched this spring did I realize that HB love fountains, as they say now a-days, I was today old when I learned this... 😆 anyway, I wanted a simple fountain with a ball or glob ... there you are! JACKPOT! So simple! I’ll make one and send you a picture... you even painted just like I had visualized how I wanted it to look! The UNIVERSE is always smiling on me! TY for sharing! Your awesome 😎 xoxo
I Thought It Was A Stone When I 1st Saw The Video, What A Fantastic Idea Thank You So Much For D
Showing The Video.
I Live In UK, N.WALES
Robbie,....I did it.....it’s amazing......no hummingbirds yet, but they are at the feeders...so I know they will figure it out soon enough.....thank you soooo much for all your inspirations ❤️🇨🇦
My goodness I never seen so many hummingbird in one place. That so cool.
I love that you put the finished system into a container that covers the water reservoir. My birdbath becomes hotter than you'd want for a bath. The birds only use it first thing in the morning. I'm going to make a bunch of these for the birds,bees,wasps,and butterflies!
I may have Batts come at night for food or water. Believe I have flying squirrels too. They lick the feeders clean!
Happy Mother’s Day, Robbie!!!💜
Thanks so much, you too, Take Care 😊
I can’t wait to try this! I also have to say I tried the bread ties for a perch on one of my feeders, and now that’s their favorite (and cheapest) feeder!!
Thanks from Shannon in Minnesota!
I'm heading out now to get supplies to make one too!!
Robbie, you are so much fun! I am grateful for your demo on the BEST EVER SOLAR Bird bath... I am planning to create one for my patio today. Thank you for sharing your personal experience, love and fascination for hummingbirds. Your enthusiasm is delightful and inspiring to me ❣️ Happy Hummingbird Moments, Cathy
You are so good with your birds, and thank you so much for your videos! So creative and inspiring. I live in chilly Northern California by the coast, but I'll be attempting my first hummingbird fountain in a few days, thanks to your generosity and fabulous ideas!
Sound nice, and have fun working on that fountain, all the birds in your area should enjoy it, Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much for this idea. Now I have these foam balls in all of my fountains. I just wish my birds would get along like yours do.
Thank you soooo much Robbie for this great idea!
Oh Robbie that is such a great idea, love 💘 it. Thanks Thanks for sharing 😊
You are so welcome, thank you, Take Care 😊
I have that SAME EXACT pink power bank from Walmart for a buck, 2- 3 years ago and its STILL WORKING AWESOME!🌸🌸
What a great idea. Thank you so much. I have bought five solar batteries. I love watching you and listening to you
Happy Mother’s Day thankyou so much very beautiful
Thank you! You too! Take Care 😊
Little spoiled babies!! So cute! Thank you for the idea. Will need to make... for sure.
I absolutely 💯 love your ideas for the hummer bird bath. I ordered a solar pump today and can hardly wait to try it out. I thought at first I would try out the red cup one with the straw but... now I like the Styrofoam ball one. Who knows, maybe I'll end up with a half dozen of them. Thank you for your videos. Much appreciated. I do love the little hummers that I have.
Wow your hummingbirds must absolutely love you
I just love your different ideas for making fountains. Thank you. 😍😁
And more to come soon, thanks 😊
I love her. I’m going to do my hummingbird bath tomorrow!
Thanks so much 😊❤️
Unfortunately we don't get hummingbirds here in Sweden but I enjoy the other little birds we have...and of course the bathing magpies. 😇 I think I am going to try this with a lidded bucket and a sphere. It looks so nice! 😇💖🙏🙌
Omg... that is brilliant! Especially the decorative basket idea.❤️ I've had a DIY bird fountain on my to-do list since I saw one of your videos for the first time but I think this is the easiest one yet and I must stop procrastinating!👍😊 I just need to go ahead and order my solar fountain (and maybe some screen wire for extra mosquito prevention). Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I just saw a female Hooded Oriole in my yard the other day and I hope to attract more. Also sounds like a good idea to help out all of hummingbirds in my yard too.
Love those Orioles so beautiful, you should see a male soon. Take cate
Oh I love this idea. Superb idea. Will make a.s.a.p.
Hummingbird..don't fly away fly away....🎶🐦darn..no hummingbird emogi..😫video was great..and what a fun personality you have😁👍❤
Just recently found your videos & I truly enjoy & appreciate them! What is it about hummingbirds that create so much joy? 😊 Like you they are so pleasing to watch for me, as well! Your videos are not pretentious or prideful. They are common sense suggestions with helpful & inexpensive ways to create & use ! Thank you! Stay safe!
Thank you so much 😊 ❤️💕
