Our credit union has had a couple in their fountain since they built the new building, and it seems to work. The airport crew placed a couple in the Walmart catch basin, but they were not very sturdy and collapsed. Such a bird might make an attractive addition to your pool. :-) I'm not sure where these were obtained.
