Solar Fountain

I love this solar fountain that I bought for the birdbath situated in my smallest flower bed. Heard the hummingbirds like running water but have never seen one (in previous summers) actually enjoying it. Maybe this year...

That is so neat - I want to look for something like that! In fact, I just found one on Amazon and am going to order it. :)

My solar thing died in less than two weeks! Glad to see yours plugging along

Never saw a solar powered one before, how lovely

@blueberry1222 Hi, Krista! I know that you can't let the fountain sit too long without water covering it or the motor burns out. I finally took the fountain out of our birdbath last summer. It was constantly going dry due to steady breezes causing the water to fall outside the birdbath rather than back into it. Kind of disappointing... Will try again this summer, though. Just need to keep a close eye on it and refill the birdbath when needed. Yesterday, 3 times! :-(

@milaniet Glad you found one, Milanie! This one can really shoot the water quite high. Read my response to @blueberry1222 about keeping it covered with water so the motor doesn't burn out!

@casablanca I like it! Was pleasantly surprised when I captured to water spraying into the air! :-)
