if the birdbath water will then flow back into the stream and pond I wouldnt do it.
birds are dirty.
It might be easier to simply set up a hose with a timer on it to fill the bird bath
once a day .... use a cheap hose turn off to regulate how much water goes into the
bird bath. a nice drip will attract birds. Ingrid

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?
