My new little fountain in the pollinator garden is up and running. Sounds great. Hope the birds like it.

Got it from Pottery Barn. It's made by Campania International.

They really love shallow water. I would try adding some rocks to that top or middle basin.

Top and middle basins are only 2" deep. I've got a shallow birdbath as well.

They seriously love like a half inch or less of moving water. I have yet to create or buy an ideal bird water feature. Our next-door neighbor had something flat-topped like this and the birds went nuts over it. The robins and waxwings do drink from our heated bird bath in the winter.

Make that about an inch and a half deep. Doesn't go up to my second knuckle on my index finger.

I keep forgetting to spend $29 on Julie’s DYI bird waterfall plans. I’d be more inspired to build a real bird-attractive water feature if we lived out in the desert, but this might be worth the small cost and effort. warblerfall.com

The cement has good texture for little bird feet to grip, and bowl edges are about an inch thick.

You’ll get birds drinking out of it for sure.

Took a while to find a smallish fountain that still held some water, kept some up top for birds, didn't cost my life savings, was sturdy, and didn't sound like a toilet that won't stop running. So many of the echo bowl fountains sounded like someone needed to hire a plumber, or jiggle the handle.
