Water Fountain

Hello Alan ..
That's a pretty fountain ...
re. the pigeons... maybe put a container of water not too far away, but a little nearer to the ground. You might be able to position the alternative water in a place more attractive to pigeons,and thereby attract them away from your fountain.

Thanks Terra for your suggestion.

I love the Water Feature and the Beautiful Rhodie behind makes a perfect backdrop! I havent any other tips on keeping the pigeons out of it, I have the same problems with my Bird Baths!

Thanks for looking and your kind comment, Carole. Wendy and I love the sound of running water in a garden.

I too have the same problem with my bird bath. Also I love the sound of running water, but it always makes me want go the loo, old age isn't funny is it? lol.

Hello Homebird , thank you for taking the time to comment. There are several other possible "watering holes" in the garden, but for some reason they aren't so thirst quenching ... For some reason :~)

I know just what you mean Tt :~((

It's lovely - would it be practical to have something floating in the water, if it's bobbing around it might put them off landing there.

Great idea ... I'll run some trials when I get it up and running. We have some large gold and silver Christmas baubles that we hang outside on a tree at Christmas for a bit of fun. I will modify them so that they don't fill with water and see if this deters them. Bit like milk bottle tops on string, to keep the birds off crops. It may work, thanks Angie for the suggestion.

Love your water feature.We have just replaced our pump,it was quite difficult.I know what you mean about the pigeons.:0)

Thanks Sue, fingers crossed, I may have a solution to the "pigeon problem" as recommended by Angie (Scottish). .... I hope to be up and running for the summer, I'll let you know how I get on.

Hi Hb .. The good old days heh! I don't suppose green/blue or red plastic would be as effective somehow.
