Can I use this on the top of my water fountain? Crows and other smaller birds like wrens perch there and poop when the water is not on.

Well I don't really know in that specific application but I do know that It's waterproof so when the water is off it will still be sticky. Very sticky. I use it on my garden hat, I first put a strip of royal blue sign vinyl on the hat then cote the vinyl with the tanglefoot to catch hundreds of deer flies. Google tanglefoot and deerflies. Russ

My application ontop of my mailbox held up the entire summer thru heavy rains, so getting it wet wouldn't be an issue if you have concerns about applying it around wet areas. Just don't spread it too thick or you'll find baby birds stuck in it. It can get pretty thick and gooey if too much is applied.

no they can not. it is made for smaller birds like finches, chickadees and such. I would put on a different feeder for bigger birds....

We bought it for the squirrels and they like it plus the lazy old doves use it too. You have a few options... Above ground or dig it down into the ground a little. We bought a bag of white river stones and made a tiny pond looking thing out of it in the garden. We like it but we also have a bird bath that's elevated that the cardinals prefer. Given a choice of "bird baths", an elevated one is definitely more suited to the birds.

I agree with those below about the size. I think the pigeons can benefit from having drinking water and you may be better off not having them get in there and poop etc. anyway.

It is a little deep for small birds. I put a small little bubbling fountain in mine (resembles a rock). You could always put a small rock or the bottom of a flower pot upside down for a platform for the birds. It has held up well through the winter in the South.

I cant think of any area. You can modify your water bottle to hang from the top which is reinforced very well. We use a raised water bowl for our chihuahuas. The canvas floor is very easy to dry/clean. Hope this helps

Yes if filled to the top it should be fine. Our cat has it filled one a week without issues. It's loud if out of water so you would know when water is needed.

I have mine in a bird bath and it works great!!! but I don't think this I big enough to work in a bigger pond

We used it for a water fountain. It sits over the water reservoir in the ground and then the fountain sits on top. Rocks are placed on top of the grate to camouflage it.

Absolutely, they would love it I'm sure! We don't have fish in ours but we have a small filtration pump which keeps it quite clean & I put clarifier in when it clouds a bit which causes debris to fall to the bottom. Depending on where you live I have heard that herons may come by & grab a gold fish out of the pond like it's a suchi bar so people put screen over the top.

Could but wouldn't recommend it. Any thing heavier than a bird would tip it over, i.e. cat, squirrel, and etc. J.L. has it elevated away from the critters.

I'm sorry but I don't know.I have about 20 something hummingbirds feeding outside but I have never seen any of them using any of my bird baths.If hummers do use little bird baths I guess that one would work as long as it is secured?I use mine for the lovebirds and they love it.Sorry I do not have a better answer.

I believe so. It works great in our yard at my koi pond, quirrels and small birds also set it off. It also keeps our dog from drinking pond water.

Honestly, I don't think the perches are large enough to accompdate a crow. Maybe a smaller one but I don't think a larger one would fit! Can't say for sure since our crows tend to feed UNDER the feeders.

as others have stated the pipe is a solid piece and is 37 inches high (long) It could potentially be cut down with a hack saw or tin snips. With a feeder so short, you might be better just getting some tubing and a valve to adjust drip/pressure. I could also see you having critter problems as it would be so close to the ground they may drink right from it.

Do you have water for the bigger birds nearby? I have a hanging birdbath in the tree next to my feeders and have never had any issues. If you are in the southwest like I am, all the animals are suffering from lack of water due to drought right now. They get it anywhere they can. Otherwise, it's better to be replacing the solution more often anyway. It's healthier for the hummers to keep the feeder cleaned and replaced every couple days in the heat anyway. LOTS of bacteria builds in sugar water in the heat which can kill the hummers. The big birds are actually keeping everyone healthier!
