That commitment is what we must remember. These little creatures find water and they rely on it daily. Just as they do for their bird feeders to be full of food. But they bring such joy, it is paid back over and over with the beauty they bring our lives. Thanks for this. It really was inspiring. ✌🏻🤍

I really, really appreciate it when content creators do updates---of all kinds! It is easy to fall for an idea that looks exciting at first glance...but it's even more important to know how things work after a month or a year of being implemented, and if it didn't work, why.

Thanks for the video. As for a possible way to keep the water filled during hot weather I might have an idea some people could use. I live in the desert and have many raised beds for vegetables. I need to water multiple times per day, so I have drip irrigation set on timers. A line could be run to the bird bath and every time the plants got watered, the bird bath would be filled or overfilled. Having it near a plant that could use the water that spilled would make it really efficient. Or drip line timers are pretty cheap, so one could be run just for the bird bath. It's super simple to run drip lines. I've been doing this for my chickens for two years and it has worked perfectly. A line tops off their watering buckets multiple times per day, and I only have to clean the buckets a couple of times a year. So a daily chore has been completely eliminated using that system.

I was going to suggest a very similar thing! When I lived in Henderson, Nevada, I had dedicated a zone on my sprinkler/irrigation system to keep a large terracotta plate full of water. The timer was set to run for 2-3 minutes every hour of the day and the constant refresh of water kept the algae issue at bay. I had hide the water line under a pile of river rocks and after several months was an extremely popular visiting spot for all manner of critters, especially birds. It worked fantastically.

Hi Jeff! I just made one of these quickly! Thanks for the idea! I took and added a 1/4" drip line from my irrigation to the saucer so that each time I water, it automatically fills the fountain. I'm in SoCal, bit of a heat wave for the past few weeks, so I hope it's being used! The hummingbirds do enjoy it, and yhe cat can watch from the window! Happy gardening!

I was looking at solar pumps online, and saw there are some that have a battery to keep the pump going after dark. And some that shut down if the water level gets too low, so that the motor doesn't burn up. :) Contemplating that option.

I like it, but I always try to stress to people whenever you have large amounts of water like that it does attract the bees and butterflies and it ends up killing, bees, wasps, bugs, spiders they all want to drink too, so if you could make another one a little bit deeper with high rocks, so that bugs do not drown, especially the pollinators That would be so special and and use daily more than you know it’s kind of fun watching
