Inspired by Robbie and Gary Gardening's Youtube Video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25TOl75dbsM).
You'll need a large bowl or flower pot of your choice for the basin, a 6-8 inch plastic flower pot for the riser, and a ~5 watt water pump with ¼" tubing. You'll need to drill a large hole or 2 around the edge of the pot to allow water to flow in and as a place for the power cord to run through, and a ¾ inch hole in the center of the bottom for the hose barb to stick through.
For the riser pot I got an 8 inch Mainstays plastic pot from Walmart. And I used latex tubing because it's what I had on hand, and it's easy to slip on and off the pump end for cleaning but the clear tubing that sometimes comes with the pumps would be fine too.
I primed, poorly painted, and epoxy coated it in an attempt to attract more birds, but I'd just print it in a bright color if I made another.
