It's funny weird how as soon as I start having a thought about a thing, an algorithm about that thing will suddenly appear, lol. 🤔😮 I have recently been wanting to make a bird bath and wondered about these discs ....thank you!
I know! It's scary enough that our phones listen to us but sometimes I think they can read our thoughts! 🤯
Same thing here!
Same thing here!
It's creepy!
@@BitsySkittlesPryss I think some tv's can do it, too. Makes sense because they're connected to the I ternet etc. 🤔
Useful video thanks 😊
I'm glad it helped. Thank you for your lovely feedback. 😊
Thank you. I just received mine today. Mine came with four plastic straws that clip on. It keeps it from moving to the sides and spilling over, like yours did. I appreciate your demonstration.
That's good to hear. They must have updated the product. Thank you for your lovely feedback!
They're cute, as you said. And so are you. I enjoyed your demo and opinions. I can relate to everything you've said; I, too, continually refill the water bowls. But it's worth the trouble. That horrible "groaning" sound is what I heard this past winter coming from somewhere in my back yard. It didn't take me long to recognize what the sound was. Because these floating fountains are solar, they do not need water to set off the mechanism; they need only sun. So, rain, sleet, snow didn't prevent it from calling to me.
How pretty would it be if it worked in snow and made a snow fountain! 🤩 . . . I'm glad you enjoyed my video. Thank you for the lovely feedback.
Ooooh! Sweet video. - I bought one of these off of Aliexpress for my swimming pool. It's cuuuute! But I too hate the fact that it only works in total sunlight and is slow to wake up.
Sounds like you're describing me - cute, likes the sun, slow to wake up! 🤣🤣
Thank you! 😊👍
I'm glad you enjoyed it. 😊
I'm very grateful for all this info, which will help me to eventually make an informed decision. 😊
The birds will love it, whatever you do. 😊
Love it, Karen! Thanks!
It is pretty cute, isn't it. 😍
@@AthomewithKarenreally cute 🫶🏼🫶🏼
What a fun gal! You have inspired me ❤️
Thank you for that lovely feedback! 😁
Great video!!
Glad you liked it. Thank you for your lovely feedback! 😁
Good job
Thank you for the lovely feedback! 😊
Love the bloopers at the end thanks for the link where to buy one do love the fountain ⛲️ and we have so many birds they will love it to great video Karen 😃
When my garden is looking lovely, I like to sit out there and relax with a drink. I sometimes put the fountain out then, just to hear the soft splashing of the water. It's very relaxing.
2:30 ah yes, the existential dread we all feel when you wake up in the morning 😂 the fountain has it down perfectly… but this reminds me, I need to make a little bowl with water for the bees, with some little rocks in it so they don’t drown but can walk around it and drink in between the rocks. I haven’t seen the usual wild bumblebees that came around last year so hopefully they stay if I add a spa for them 🙃.
Also good to have you back!
It's good to BE back! Or should I say BEE back? bahaha Yes the bees definitely need water. What little plants do you have for them to feed on?
@@AthomewithKaren Well, It’s about half tomato plants (about 30-ish), half pepper plants (another 30-ish, both sweet and hot) and then some cucamelons, small eggplants and zucchini, runner beans, a dozen strawberry plants which are in full bloom already and then radishes, beets, carrots, lettuce and some herbs coming in.
Last year I started about a month later than now so maybe they’ll still come. We have some tomato and pepper flowers already but perhaps they’re not attracted yet due to the low quantity. Also planted a flower mix for bumblebees and butterflies, those are coming along nicely now but no flowers just yet.
They should go crazy during summer though, I’m suspecting the plants are also still small and they can’t see them behind our fence on the second-floor terrace, but when the tomatoes and beans grow tall they should draw the attention of any bumblebee in the area. Can’t wait! They make this buzzbuzz sound when pollinating tomatoes cause they need to shake the flowers for the pollen to come out. So I always knew when they were around last year cause I could hear them hard at work :)
I used to come in and shake all the flowers before work at 9 and then they started doing multiple tours at about 10-11 until the evening. For about 6 weeks I was sure I pollinated all the tomatoes but nope lol, they just came in after me to do the job properly 😅
They also refused any honey or sugar-water I gave them, even when put up to their trumpet snout, so we’ll just stick to a small water dish this time
@@BeatrixKiddo Wow! Lots of plants! Sounds like you have a large garden but you said it's on a second floor terrace?
@@AthomewithKaren yeah, I think it’s about 15-20 meters squared in size, so obviously some meticulous planning went into how many plants can fit and how to place them so you can access them. It’s a big terrace but by no means a huge space
@@BeatrixKiddo It sounds Wonderful!
I was wondering how to keep it still in the bird bath. Thank you!!!
Apparently the newer versions have little straws out the sides to help keep them in place.
You could add some larger rocks to your birdbath or pond to help keep it in place :) I did that with mine and seems to work perfectly! And it possibly will help the tiny birds drink water having a perch if the water is too deep.
Thanks this was very helpful. I just bought one. Haven't put it together yet.
Have fun choosing which sprayer to use! 😊 Thank you for the lovely feedback.
PUT ROCKS AROUND THE SOLAR FOUNTAIN, IT WONT MOVE
Mate! You're a genius! Why didn't I think of that? I've tried many ways - none worked. Thank you for sharing that excellent tip! 👍🤩
💙⭐💚
Thank you! 😊
Thanks, very useful video. Does it deter birds from drinking though?
I've never seen a bird use the bath while the fountain is there. But I think it would depend on the bird and the size of the the bath. 🤷♀️
🧡❤💛
Thank you 🤩
I have the exact same fountain but mine came with four plastic see-through straws. Can you put the straws inside the holes around it and what it does is it keeps it from moving around so much. It keeps it centered.
Yes, the newer fountains have those straws. They're a good idea!
Mine makes a noise when it gets dirty. I simply open the filter, lean it out and voila! Back in business
That's good to know! Thank you for that tip. 👍
Me puedes decir cuál es el filtro? Tengo una hace poco y aún no estoy muy clara de cómo debo cuidarla. Gracias 🤩
I was watering my plants and a hummingbird came right next to me because he was thirsty so I bought 3 of the same solar fountains
Awww so cute! 😍
Which water pump kit are you using
I'm not using a pump. What you see is all there is. The little disc thing, put it in the sun, and off it goes.
Dónde lo puedo comprar?

Thank you Karen you are the first person to answer any questions I have about anything!!
@@lindasalisbury3471 Linda, viewers like you are SO important to me! Without viewers, our channels would fail. I always reply to comments and questions, and I welcome feedback and suggestions of ways I can make my channel better. Thank you for watching my little videos. 😍
Thank you again!
I've purchased 2 different ones from Amazon stating NO China-made, but they sent me China-made anyway. So I tried them and they both failed. Had to fight hard to get my money back. Do you have solar panel fountain bumblers?
No, I don't know what a "solar panel fountain bumbler" is. . . . I imagine everything like this is made in China. That's just how it is.
Its still working mam?
I don't use it all the time. But every time I get it out of the shed and put it in the bird bath, it works fine. 😊
@@AthomewithKaren Ok Thanks 🙏 👍 luv from India,Mumbai
Annoying that it not staying in middle and it blowing the water around and empty the bath without water
It definitely is! But I've heard the newer versions have little sticks that help keep them in place.
You are cute too...
Thank you for watching! 😁🤩
