lem2bert they are, I have noticed them all gathered around it when it's on, and they like to nap while facing it. My old hen enjoys watching it most, but my cfw is the only one who has bathed in it so far.

My guys would be in it day and night, lol. Most especially the Societies, who take 3 or 4 baths in any given day.

I checked out some prices for store bought table top fountains, and :shock: :shock: :shock:

You used to be able to get them pretty cheap, now they call them Zen, and the prices have sky rocketed.

lovezebs I know what you mean. If you like, I will post a how-to so you can make your own! The materials were very cheap, I only had to buy the pump motor. I even have an extra water pump (motor already in the case) I could mail you, if you'd like, then you just need to plug it into a container with a hose. It's small enough to fit inside a film cannister, and attaching it to an old phone charger is as simple as putting red to red and black to black. Since you're not living in EU, you won't need a power adapter. What do you think?

I would love to have a fountain like yours, but knowing me I would somehow manage to electrocute myself and my birds, and give all the poor kids frizzy curly feathers, with smoke coming out of their ears, lol :roll: . Thanks so much for the offer though :)

I will find a fountain somewhere eventually, no worries. There is always Walmart... the place that has everything . If they don't have something, you can always order it in.

I should check on line to see what they have available.
