I need help with birdbaths!!! (1 Viewer)

Hi Doug,
This is mkdon and you are right. It is a stream. It came as a kit and included 3 oval shaped plastic mini-pools and each has a spout on one side. It also included a plastic liner for a 4x5 pool at the bottom. My yard (garden) has a slight slope toward my house so it was a perfect place to take advantage of gravity. The kit also included a pump, tubing, and oat straw to help kill algae. I had a small plastic hose already buried in the yard which I can use to refill the stream. You will need electric within 6 to 8 feet of the pump and you will need gravel for the bottom of the pools and the mini-pools. I have taken some pictures of it, but I am new here and have never uploaded anything. I will try to figure out how to do it, but until then, here is the website for the place where I ordered it. www.avianaquatics.com The have pictures on their site. I am going to double check the website and if I have it wrong, I will repost the proper site in a moment.
As I said, it is shallow and narrow so there is not TOO much digging.

Hi MKdon - excellent 'creek' - I have contacted the company to see if they have a UK distributor as it would be perfect for my project. Thank you everso much.

Having two bitches, what once passed for a small lawn disappeared so we covered the area with a ton of gravel. I made a scrape and lined it with polythene and then added the gravel.

I've attached a pic, although the "layout" has changed slightly since I took this pic about 18 months ago as we've added more plants and stones/pebbles of varying sizes!

The birds love it!
