Do you want a vintage-style fountain that will attract birds to your yard? You can easily create your own with this antique solar fountain that runs on its own.
Pedestal birdbaths that stand tall and have a wide bowl can look elegant and beautiful, but they may not necessarily attract birds.
Fountains work better at actually bringing wildlife to your garden because of the moving water.
Advantages of Using a Solar Fountain with a Birdbath:
However, installing a water pump can be time consuming, and buying an all-in-one bird bath fountain can get expensive. That’s why I like this simple idea of using a birdbath bubbler with a standard bird basin. You can save both money and time.
A solar fountain can run on its own. In other words, it has its own water pump, solar panels and rechargeable battery.
Therefore, you can place the fountain in any body of water in a sunny location, and the unit runs automatically. Some modern bubblers even have LED lights that turn on automatically at night.
This method makes set-up even easier, while also keeping the cost down. Not to mention, most bubblers come with a variety of water spray designs, so you can make your aviary fountain unique and more attractive.
Note: The wide mouth on this bowl helps keep water in the birdbath in the case of any overspray. That said, tall fountains on windy days can spray water right out of the bowl. If you find this to be an issue, simply switch the spray nozzle to a shorter bubbler style to prevent the bath from running dry.
This Bird Bath is Easy to Set Up & Low Maintenance:
This vintage looking fountain comes in 4 easy-to-assemble pieces, so you can literally put it together in minutes. It also costs less because it is lightweight and can ship in a more compact container.
Note: The Vivohome birdbath weighs less than 5 pounds. However, the package comes with stakes, so you can secure the base to the ground. In addition, you can fill the hollow stand with sand or gravel to weigh it down even more.
In addition, the durable polyresin material stands up well to outdoor weather. For example, it doesn’t crack or dent, and it can can handle long exposure to sunlight or cold temperatures.
And speaking of low maintenance, you can easily keep your fountain water clean (and safe for birds) by using water enzymes. Cleaner water will also help your pump filter work better because it prevents algae buildup.
Note: Some customers have mentioned that the painted finish can peel if the surface gets scratched up too much. This can cause problems if you’re not careful. You can opt to pay more for a real metal birdbath or simply take care when setting up or moving it.
