Is the bowl deep enough for a floating solar panel? Birds seem to like moving water best.

The bowl is about 4 inches deep. Our birds have no problem with quiet water.

Yes. The bowl is deep in fact I'm planning to put stones in the bottom. Birds like it a bit more shallow than the depth of this bowl. If I may suggest. ..try the bird dripper sold on amazon. I love mine! Hope this helps!

Now that I have had both the bird bath and solar fountain, I can say without question this is a perfect combination. I would recommend purchasing them together. The birds love having oxygenated water.

I would say yes because it has a float and probably requires very little pressure to fill the float bowl.

That should be fine. Friends of ours are using it for their pet water turtle. But you need to keep an eye on the water temperature otherwise the water may get too warm ... If water gets too warm, my friends prop the bowl up with a couple of pieces of wood to keep the bowl an inch or so above the pad ... In fact, they mostly keep it popped up. We are in Florida, where it is warm anyhow ... That may not be necessary in colder climates / environments. Sibylle

It is a little deep for small birds. I put a small little bubbling fountain in mine (resembles a rock). You could always put a small rock or the bottom of a flower pot upside down for a platform for the birds. It has held up well through the winter in the South.

Yes, I would think so. You can raise the solar panel in the direction of sun as shown in its picture. But certainly possibility of water leak is a concern on flat surface.

Yes. It is appx. 1" deep and very accessible. Caution: Don't have it mounted near electrical items or near food source. Birds like to splash a lot.

Originally I had the fountain in a concrete birdbath, and the suction cups included did not stick. To keep it in place, I weighted the unit with a stone using the included fishing line. That worked fine and was not visible at all. Now I have the fountain in a larger, glazed birdbath and the suction cups work. My water depth is about 2".

yes, it does. It still gets crusty on the tray when it rains. We put fruit and nut in it and guess the chaff and coatings tend to clog the water flow. We got this one as we had the smaller version which the birds fought over. This gives plenty of surface area to allow many birds access to food at one time.

This is the best platform feeder i have ever purchased. I had a wood one just like this but the wood decayed. The bottom is metal with little holes in it so the water goes through it but the seed doesnt. You should buy one especially for the winter. I have so many birds on it that i spend more than I want for bird food.

I have mine floating in a small water feature. I have not notice hummingbirds going to it but i bet they would on a bird bath:)

should be...it is a great bowl and pretty deep...with the exception of my sloppy weimaraners who like to get their feet wet....

Yes, but you may have to make a little room for the float bowl by removing a small amount of cooling fin material.

It really depends more on the heater than the bath. Many will work with this one. This is a pretty sturdy bath, but you will want to ensure that the heater or deicer you are using is safe for all types of birdbaths. Also, you'll want to know the size of bath your heater will work with. The bowl on this bath is about 19 inches in diameter and around 3 inches deep (these are not mass produced, so the dimensions will vary from piece to piece).

I don't know the technical answer to that so you should google that and see what comes back, however, I do have two that are in the sun for a good part of the day and the birds seem to enjoy them and the group hasn't gotten any thinner.

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.

I don't think I would risk it. The glass top maybe but not the rest as it may warp. Also it is advisable not to put chemicals in the part where the birds feed. The updated version of this the 209B is better. The bottom comes apart for easy cleaning.

I have mine in a shallow bird bath, probably about 4 inches of water. When it is really cold, there is just a small opening that does not freeze, probably about 6 inches which is fine with me as the birds can get a drink. I keep the heater over next to the edge and weigh it down. It is really cheap to operate because it doesn't thaw a larger area I guess, not enough heat? When the weather is not that cold, I have a much larger area available. I think you would probably have better luck if your water is not too deep. Hope this helps.
