It is well known that birds are attracted to water, especially running water. However, most fountains or small ponds require a 120-V electrical pump which is expensive to install, may require permitting, and--if not installed properly--could potentially pose an electrocution danger to humans and wildlife. This article describes a solar-powered alternative you can make yourself.
The design uses readily available parts, and is inexpensive (about $85), easy to maintain, and is relatively simple to build and install.
