Would this work for "spraying" birds..does it have a "spray" or just a straight stream of water?

The spray is adjustable, but it would not be strong enough to spray at birds

I do use it to scotchgard rugs, it has a pretty fine spray, it is not as adjustable as some but it does the trick quite well for that and for spraying flowers with insect spray.

It hardly sprays at all. Don't waste your money. Great idea, but I know somebody can do a better job than the company that made this one.

It does have a variable nozzle... you can spray a fine mist to a straight stream. I never used it on birds...but I should work fine for birds if your spraying for mites and such.

It has an adjustable nozzle for a wide cone or straight stream. Birds?I am not sure of your question here regarding birds.....

Sprayer hardly sprays and took forever and then broke the second time using it. Good idea but don't recommend. Waste of money.

You could but when the birds bathe - they splash the water quite a bit. I have mine sitting in a birdbath because the hook came loose and actually they seem to like it that way.

No - it's the old kind that sprays a stream. If you release the handle a bit it will mist. Strong construction - it's dog proof and that's why I bought it. He destroys plastic

The birds that use my birdbath, which is where I have the solar pump, bathe all around it. Yes they can get under it but for my purposes it sprayed too high although I have seen hummingbirds use the spray. I added more holes to reduce the pressure and height of the spray. It worked fine and the price was better than many other places.

I have two of these and will be purchasing a third. I have no problems with many birds using it. I do empty, clean, and refill it every 3-4 days when I do the same for my hummingbird feeders (hummers really want fresh homemade nectar). All types of birds would rather have fresh water when possible.

You would have to support the pump so it was only under 1-2" of water. That said,it depends on how much of an effect you are after - in my birdbath one of thefountain heads actually sprays out of the birdbath. I believe the most coverageyou could get even with the fountain head that sprays the farthest would beabout an 8-10" diameter total. Meaning from the center of the barrel it wouldspray out 4-5". If you are looking for a major splashing fountain for your barrelyou may need to go with a larger pump. But I am also assuming it would costmuch more than the price of this unit. Hope this helps! : ) You would have to support the pump so it was only under 1-2" of water.

I have been sprinkling it in the aspen shavings for my birds nest boxes. ( Cockatiels, conures, lovebirds and parrotlets) and it works great, just sprinkle it not too much. I would think it would work also for doves. Worth trying.

Yes. Mist to stream and in between. Not best nozzle, but works good enough.

I suppose it is a question of how far away the bird is. Some of the supersoakers will shoot a stream of water 25 or 30 feet and that would probably startle the woodpecker if you hit it with the water. I am a little doubtful because I would expect the woodpecker to fly away before you got close enough to shoot it. Why not use a garden hose with a spray nozzle.

I never thought of that, maybe a clear coat of of some kind of spray...something that wouldn't hurt the bird's drinking out of it. Let me know what u find, Please.

I'm not really sure, but the water doesn't really get 'hot' and the base never feels 'hot' either. The birds do love it.

The water is warm but not too warm. I don't know what the temp is but I am not having problems with evaporation. Are you sure the birds aren't just splashing out the water because this is what happens when a large flock comes in to the bird bath.

Very simple concept. It has a t connection that will be attached to the tank feeding line. You will have a line going as regular to the tank and another will be supplying the spray mechanism. I love the concept. Best of luck.

Its like the Energizer Bunny...it keeps on tryin' It sputters and and makes a kinda strange sound..ours has been waterless for a few hours at a time without any harm to it..It is hard to centralize, but otherwise, we think its a funny little addition to our yard..and the birds seem to like it..

It doesn't have to be fully covered with water. I've let mine go bone dry and it still works. Have fun keeping your birdies hydrated in the winter!

This fountain needs at least 2 inches of water to function and works best in 3 or more inches. This is even more important when you have it in a smallish bird bath like I do, as opposed to a big pond. The fountain is great because it attracts birds, but it makes the bird bath lose water quickly (it goes over the side of the bath). I have to refill the bird bath every morning.

It does a misting. Took me several tries to find one that did but this one is a mister. I have parrots that prefer being misted rather than bathing in a shower or bowl. They just blink a little and rustle their wings. Gets them wet without soaking them if that makes any sense.
