My latest Creation for the Hummingbird Playground Fountain,

Beautiful Flower mini-spas the hummers seem to love.  Approximately 6 inches across the flowers create a very shallow reservoir for water and leading edge forming a small water fall. The 5 flowers all set on  3/8” diameter soft copper supports that plug into the water outlets around the rear half of the main basin. The 1/2” round nozzles have three water streams creating a small fountain. The flowers are cast stone and nozzles are cast using a non toxic silicone rubber material that allows the hummingbirds to grip and sit on the water stream.


The  Original Hummingbird Playground Fountain was not designed for people, its for the birds.  However the fountain was arranged to maximize viewing and photography of these precious jewels performing their antics, they do seem to enjoy an audience , are very curious and frequently come up to me whenever I am working on the fountain or adding water.


I tested many spitter configurations over several years to come up with the fewest sculptured spitters to attract my visitors, I am sure it varies from bird to bird and region to region but this combination works for mine. After finding the suitable number of spitters I created the smallest fountain basin that I could by spacing the sculptures at 8”. The first fountain did not fit into a suitable shipping carton that had somewhat of a reasonable shipping cost. The final configuration is 28” Wide and 22” across. The upper splash basin has three zones with different depths and a ridge down the middle.


Many people think the sculptures are made of glass, that illustrates the quality of my acrylic material and product, they are very durable and after 4 years exposure to the Southern California Riverside County Sunshine, have proven to be non yellowing.


As you can see by the photographs of the fountains each has 5 sculptured spitters there is no difference in price for fewer spitters, as the fountain is made only 1 way with 5 outlets for the water and this is created in the concrete forming mold.


The spitters are adjustable up and down and each support can be bent into any position so you can create any arrangement that you feel is aesthetically pleasing, you could even remove some of the sculptured spitters and shut off the valves. The spitters are still available in limited quantities.
