To clarify:
Only the 'Packed Wheatfield' and 'Artesian Well' from the Birthday gift pack have the yellow *splat* and say they will return to the Star when demolished.
The ones in the Merchant do not work that way, they have no *splat* and do not say they will return to the Star, though keeping them in Architecture with all the Deeds that do return to the Star is misleading.
Whether BB intended the Gift items to work this way is unclear and until they say "We did mean them to be reused, enjoy and Happy Birthday." or "Oops, this was a mistake but keep them anyway and enjoy." or "This was a mistake we are working to fix, don't expect it to last." we can only play with what we have. They are lovely and I do hope they stay.
At level 49 we can build the Tightly Sown Wheatfield (800 Wheat) and at level 50 the Bottomless Well (3000 Water) in the Build Menu, they're just regular buildings.
For now at least just demolishing them before they empty returns them to the Star and refills them. They do sometimes stick on rebuilding and refreshing usually fixes that. As it does so many things.
'Refresh', the rounded arrow on the browser bar or often F5, reloads the current page without your needing to relog entirely.
All that said, we still don't know what happens if the Gift items are allowed to deplete entirely (and fall down,) it may be a while before someone tests that.
My mistake, apparently someone has:
There we are then.

Ok thanx for the info, I work all day during the week, and I got 5 wells so I cant afford to let these run dry! Im guessing 6000 water lasts 4-5 days?
Didnt realise the wells and fields u get at level 49 and 50 were only level 3 buildings. Surely with these being level 4 youd think they would return to the star menu once depleted but Im not gonna let them run dry to find out, lol.
As you are not 100% right with "refresh" thing, I hope you are not right with "gone if depleted".
Iolanthe clarified a lot here - mainly about "splat" (or star - like i.e. recycler).
Now - do Birthday 'Packed Wheatfield' and 'Artesian Well' leave just regular exhausted well / exhausted field (and supposed to be lost then) or maybe exhausted well / exhausted field which could be back to star menu?
Still hope for oficial BB reply in monday about thisWhether BB intended the Gift items to work this way is unclear and until they say "We did mean them to be reused, enjoy and Happy Birthday." or "Oops, this was a mistake but keep them anyway and enjoy." or "This was a mistake we are working to fix, don't expect it to last." we can only play with what we have.

Just had a report that they don't go back into star menu any more when demolished. Haven't tested it myself.
I just tested demolishing a partially used packed wheatfield and it returned to my star menu.
It could be that the person who gave you the report had some lag. I'd suggest swapping to a different island and back or refreshing.

I have just noticed that the last requester when demolishing a field is different for these. Normally it says "Tear down building", one of my packed fields said "Knock down recurring ", the use of that last word indicates to me that it is intended to be reusable. Unless somebody can show me otherwise English law backs up my view.
Knock down recurring suggests the fields can be reused.

Settling isn't just for fun
You can knock it down and build again, it will be full again. I tried it twice, it works. Before building, you have to leave your island to refresh, otherwise it builds around 10% and disapperas back to star menu.
Knock down recurring suggests the fields can be reused.
Question is what happens if it is depleted, some people say it can be revived as well, I have not seen a proof for that.
