This little Olive Thrush has obviously decided my stoep is untidy and needs cleaning up.
Of course, he could simply be gathering nesting material!
And after all that hard work, time for a bath;
Or a shower!
Using all the dogs’ water bowls, he obviously wants to look his very best . . .
. . . To impress the ladies!
Twitterpated indeed!
That is one fastidious thrush. I’m off to get twitterpated …

Ah so thats what an Olive Thrush looks like, very handsome little bird. I could do with him in my garden at the moment, collecting twigs. A lovely set of photos 🙂

Well, if I were as handsome as that olive thrush, I’d want to clean up to impress the ladies too. Thankfully I’m just a balding and wrinkled old coot, so I don’t worry about how I look — though I do take a bath once a year, whether I need it or not.

Perhaps dog slobber has fine washing qualities I am not aware of – perhaps that’s why Choppy wants to give me random licks.

Eeuw! I really don’t know! 😀
Sadly LM is not allowed to lick me – because she eats dog poop every day! And as a dog owner, I’m sure I do smell of dog – but hopefully not poop! 🙂

I guess a dog bowl makes a pretty good bird bath.

Well they certainly seem to think so, but it is very irritating – I am continually filling up these bowls! 🙂

The dog bowls really fit the birds just fine. Right sizing too. I am amazed they stood there waiting to be photographed. Either that or you have lightning shutter speed ha ha

I think that’s why they really like them, right size, although there is a nice big bird bath under the apple tree.
I was hiding inside the house, using zoom on my little point and click camera. I’m sure the birds never even knew I was there 🙂
