building birdbath fountain

I built an inexpensive birdbath fountain using large plastic pots and the trays. I started with a 24 in. pot,
put a tray on top to fit the rim, added a 12 in pot upside-
down, and then a 12 in tray on top. I drilled a 1/2 in hold
in the trays and the smaller pot. I used a medium rated
fountain pump, connected rubber hose up through the pieces
and then attached a small fountain nozzle to the end. The bottom tray has some 1/4 in. holes drilled for drainage. I put washed river rock in the trays to give the birds some footing and also weigh it down. Put it on an outdoor timer to come on early morning and go off shortly after dusk.
The birds love this fountain, there is a constant flow of
cardinals, bluejays, blackbirds and others. Picture will
be posted in my profile
