1 Lerio whiskey barrel Liner
1 small energy-efficient (Mag Drive) pump - Cal, Cyprio, and Rena offer excellent pumps for this purpose
1 Artificial stone bird bath the one shown is made by CREATEK

1st Step
Dig a hole big enough to fit your Whiskey Barrel Liner into leave
it's lip slightly (1") above grade.
2nd Step
Place the pump into the Whiskey Barrel Liner
Then Place the Bird Bath over the Whiskey Barrel
- part of the novelty here is that the hole (3/8" or 1/2" dia.)
was drilled
in the side wall of the basin, allowing several inches of water to remain
in the birdbath AND still permit the flow to return to the hidden
reservoir! (A second hole could also be drilled under the fountain
piece if needed to hide the tubing.)
3rd Step
Place the fountain piece wherever you
see fit on the side of the Bird Bath.
Attach the tubing to the pump an the fountain
Fill everything up with water
plug the pump and you now should have a wonderful little water feature.
