ABSTRACT:
A self-filling birdbath system for utilizing rainwater collected within a conventional rain gutter system to fill and clean a birdbath. The inventive device includes a birdbath, a collection tube connectable to a drain spout of a rain gutter, an elbow tube coupled with the collection tube, a transporting tube coupled to the elbow tube opposite of the collection tube, and a fill tube coupled to the transporting tube and extending through the birdbath above the rim of the basin. Rainwater is accumulated within the rain gutter and is drained through the drain spout. The rainwater is then forced through the transporting tube through the fill tube and out a dispensing end where the water dispensed into the basin. The rainwater is agitated within the basin of the birdbath thereby cleaning the basin when the water level within the basin exceeds the rim of the basin.
