Visiting tourist
Testing the facilities
Pool acceptable
This young blackbird is a regular visitor to my son’s garden. Ignoring the vast expanse of pond, stream and waterfall, he dives daily into an unused cat-litter tray that the rain fills with water….or, since his visits became a regular feature… I fill instead. He seems completely unconcerned by the camera…but I think he needs a hairdresser.
Press a button or two to share... go on, make my day :)

Really nice! This is the first time we also experiencing this. With us, however, sparrows are trying to bathe in their small water pot. We will spend a larger pool. 😉

Different bird, I know, but we have a magpie that has attached itself to us for the odd feed [usually during spring when their young are voracious and there’s never enough to go around].
I swear I never set out to tame him/her but we seem to have struck up a friendship nonetheless. 🙂

There is a real sense of privilege when they let us in to their lives like that, isn’t there?

Yes. My heart almost stopped the first time he/she hopped along the railing towards me and tried to sample my coffee! I’ve grown to love all the magpies that live in the trees around my place but this bird is very special.

What a lovely encounter! The magpies are very intelligent birds and know those who will do them no harm…. as well as those who willll lend them a hand.

Yes, I’d read they were smart but I didn’t expect them to be able to recognize human ‘faces’. Mine knows /me/. It’s a lovely feeling but also rather thought provoking. We place so much value on our human intelligence, as if birds and animals have none at all. So very wrong.
