Yes its possible to push pull water that distance and height, but its
not going to be that cheap with just using a simple small inexpensive
pump. It can be submersible or external. Unless you can divert water
closer to the birdbath itself I think a bucket would be the best
choice. Even just pushing water or pulling water over a 4 foot berm,
and then up into a fountain itself is not as easy or cheap as it may
seem.

We have a small stream running next to the house and would like to put a
bird bath in our yard near it.

Would it be possible to find an *inexpensive* pump that could pump water
from the stream into the birdbath?

The only problem is that it needs to go about 30 feet, and over a 4' earth
berm. Can small inexpensive pumps do that?

Does it have to be a submersible pond pump or can it be something else?

Suggestions?
