Just a bird bath attracts LOTS of birds especially if you also have native plants.

But don't listen to me...you have a broken system to support :) :) :)

A solar fountain sounds cool.
I'm in Arizona,
and we're running out of water.
At least most birds can fly to a water source.
:hehe

I thought I would send a picture of a bird bath that can be made from easy to find stuff :)

Image

This bird bath is approx 1.5m above the ground supported on 3 'star pickets' and made from a pot plant water dish. Birds up to parrot size use it. Something they do a lot because birds are very clean critters.

We can see this bird bath from a window but it's surprisingly hard to photograph them. I've seen up to 5 in it together. This bird is an 'eastern firetail' with a bright red tail. It's a seed eater. Other bird that visit are honey eaters and wrens and unknowns. You get familiar with them after awhile. Seed eaters and honey eaters are my favorites because they have such good karma :)

I love it because anytime i see the sunshine and no water to evaporate it just feels like wasted heat energy to me

I'm delighted by this idea you’ve brought to life. The little birds in your area will certainly enjoy it. But to tell the truth, I enjoy it too. Everything else you share with us, is great.
There is nothing quite like nature for appreciating beauty.
Thanks a lot, Tin. :) :hi5 :tyspin

On the wall in the second image I wrote in Vietnamese which means blessed water enters the doorway.
It's a reminder of positive imagery. I hope people read this and has a mental image of blessed water entering the doorway no matter how brief. My theory about the Simpsons seems to merge many ideas.

Athletes often visualize themselves winning a race before actually winning it.
So there's gotta be some effect when millions of people visualizing or shown the same thing it's a very strong signal in collective consciousness.

Let's visualize rain in Arizona for Wallace.
In Latin, there's saying that means the voice of the people is the voice of God.

We have lot of birds visiting the back because I let the garden hose drip like drip irrigation into a pan then overflows into the ground.

This is more fun to visualize because it's cartoon style

Why not forget the visualizations and regard the positive outcomes as fact?

FOR EXAMPLE

2 weeks after being the last place on Earth to get bird flu, Tasmania immediately evolved beyond the virus and developed much more brightly colored birds.

I like the cartoon style :bigthup
