A free standing, portable support system stand for a liquid dispensing bottle having a dispensing apparatus being angularly disposed from the body, the dispensing apparatus having a tube with a pet/animal activated mechanism, a support base having a supplemental lower plate and a vertical member, the lower edge of the vertical member being coupled to the horizontal rectangular plate. A bottle retaining brace includes a horizontal resting plate coupled to the vertical member of the support base. The resting plate has a receiving end with a first recess with an annular recess. The receiving end of the resting plate has a semilunar recess adjacent to an exposed edge, such that both the first recess and the annular recess coincide with the semilunar recess. The bottle retaining brace has a horizontal support member coupled to the vertical member of the support base at a position superior to the resting plate.

The maintenance-efficient birdbath--fountain assembly of claim 1 wherein the electrical power delivery means is defined by a power cord, the power cord being of sufficient length to allow the user to remove the pump housing and fountain tubing from the reservoir through the reservoir access aperture. 3. The maintenance-efficient birdbath--fountain assembly of claim 2 wherein the reservoir access aperture is sized and shaped to allow an adult user to reach into the reservoir, the adult user thus being able manually access the fountain assembly with an upper appendage. 4. The maintenance-efficient birdbath--fountain assembly of claim 1 wherein the hollow central basin pedestal comprises a substantially circular horizontal cross-section. 5. The maintenance-efficient birdbath--fountain assembly of claim 4 wherein the reservoir access aperture comprises a cross-sectional diameter, the cross-sectional diameter being about 4 inches. 6. The maintenance-efficient birdbath--fountain assembly of claim 5 wherein the plurality of upwardly extending equally-spaced support members number four and the plurality of water inlet grooves intermediate the support members number four, the support members and water inlet grooves each comprising an arc length, each arc length comprising about 1/8 the circumference of the substantially circular horizontal cross-section. 7. The maintenance-efficient birdbath--fountain assembly of claim 6 wherein the superior cap surface comprises decorative statuary. 8. A maintenance-efficient birdbath assembly, the birdbath assembly comprising in combination: a basin, the basin comprising a superior basin perimeter, a hollow central basin pedestal, a sloped superior basin surface, and an inferior basin surface, the sloped superior basin surface being intermediate the superior basin perimeter and the hollow central basin pedestal, the hollow central basin pedestal comprising a cap support end and a basin-engaging end, the basin-engaging end being integrally formed with the sloped superior basin surface, the cap support end comprising a plurality of upwardly extending equally-spaced support members and a plurality of water inlet grooves intermediate the support members, the support members each having a cap-engaging surface, the cap-engaging surfaces being substantially coplanar, the support members and water inlet grooves defining a reservoir access aperture; a reservoir, the reservoir comprising a superior reservoir perimeter surface, an inner reservoir surface and an outer reservoir surface, the inferior basin surface being seated atop the superior reservoir perimeter surface; and a decorative cap, the decorative cap comprising a superior cap surface and an inferior cap surface, the inferior cap surface being substantially planar for seated engagement with the cap-engaging surfaces, the reservoir access aperture being sized and shaped to allow a user to manually access the reservoir without removing the basin from the reservoir, the reservoir access aperture thus providing means for efficiently maintaining the birdbath assembly. 9. The maintenance-efficient birdbath assembly of claim 8 wherein the reservoir access aperture is sized and shaped to allow an adult user to reach into the reservoir, the adult user thus being able manually access the reservoir with an upper appendage. 10. The maintenance-efficient birdbath assembly of claim 8 wherein the hollow central basin pedestal comprises a substantially circular horizontal cross-section. 11. The maintenance-efficient birdbath assembly of claim 10 wherein the r
