do you have to remove the bird to pour the water?

Yes you do. I just keep mine off unless guests are coming and i want it to look nice on stove.

No. I just pour the water directly into the bowl while it is running when it gets close to the minimum line.

No, the portion of the tank you pour the water in, to begin brewing your coffee is not removeable. The only portion of the tank thatis removable is used to pour water into the "brewing" portion and to hold the coffee after it is brewed, as previously stated.

I would say not, the glass carrafe is the only thing contacting the water, there may be a metal spring in the lid that pops up, but you can avoid touching the lid when pouring. BTW after I returned my defective unit, they sent me a replacement which has not had any problems for about 4 months now...

No babbling brook sound that I have heard - but this model does a great job moving the water in our bird bath. Birds seem to enjoy the moving water.Carol

No, but it produces water like a window unit does, so be prepared to catch it with a bucket to remove it.

No. The unit has a removable tank that you must empty. Minor inconvenience.

Mine's on an enclosed patio, so it's pretty easy, just pick the grass out and rinse it out a couple of times a week. I had a similar waterer outside that birds used as a birdbath. It was mounted so it could be removed without any tools. I emptied it and hosed it out every day when I watered the plants.

as the birds drink from the bottom it automatically refills from the tank. It works by gravity and vacume . no valves or mechanical parts to wear out.

I just received mine today and it has two "buttons" that you push to disconnect the polycarbonate cylinder from the bottom of the feeder. To fully dismantle the bottom, however, you need to unscrew the bottom metal plate. It is held on by two small Phillips-head screws. There are small drain holes in the bottom, too---I am guessing that they will let any water that gets in there to pass through. Nicely made feeder!

My husband always fills it but he said u line it up by looking at the bottom of the bird, shut the lid and turn the bird to lock it down. Hope that helps.

The water reservoir is removable. You can add water without removing if you wish.

No problem... It has a plastic insert-it might get slightly wet, but the birds don't seem to mind. I live in PA if that helps & I've had this feeder for several seasons & it's the best I've owned.

Yes, that's how I use it. I placed some rocks near the edge so that critters can access the water, and have a means of excaping if one should happen to fall into it. I placed mine in a depression in the ground so that the rim is near the ground. I clean the saucer about once a week by running hose water through it, which also replaces the water; birds do not like stagnant water, which also attracts mosquitos. An active circulating water system would be more attractive to birds, but this can be used, using manual cleaning.

Yes. The heater has kept the water in our concrete bird bath from freezing. Just remember to keep water in the bird bath. We fill it every other day. The bigger birds splash it out. It attracts birds in central Pennsylvania.

No the tank is part of the system. The water is filtered and stored in the tank. If you remove the tank the water would be very very slow coming out of the fawcett.

yes it can be removed but it you have smaller birds they can go right out the bottom there is a few inch gap
