Great idea Thank you. You can vibrate the cement with a cheap vibratory sander and wetter it fine for the cement. Just takes a little longer to cure. Cures best under water after setting. Change water to avoid lime burns for the hummers for about 3wks.

After seeing this video last year I just had to make one! I looked all over for a child’s ball and could not find one. So I went to Home Depot and purchased a small glass light globe for just a few dollars. Doing the same as you, filling it with concrete. I waited until the next day. Covered it with a towel and gently cracking the glass off with a hammer. It worked!! Now I have a concrete ball fountain just like yours that the birds love!🥰

Thank you for this idea. It looks like they love the water idea. I can see giving them a way to grab onto the surface would please them - I will remember to sweep my cement so it has texture for them to grip. I can see the logic of having just a little water flowing over the surface since they are so small and extremely prey animal motivated so they need to be able to fly off in a second. I love your ideas.

Robbie, you make this look so easy. Thank you for increasing my hummingbird population. Now I can supply them with a lovely 'bath ball' fountain.

Watched your tote garden & subscribed. This hummingbird fountain is next. Weather isn't quite right yet for it in Central Ohio. I got a hummingbird tattoo in 1980 before they became a 'thing'. Always wanted one when I was a kid & finally did it. Thx so much for sharing your wisdom. God bless. 💥
