Different species of birds will be seen taking their turn to frolic, in our bird bath. It is a pleasure to watch specially these little ones who will only be seen on the edge of the tapering bath. They know if they go a little further they will drown.

It's so nice to be able to watch the little birds as they happily go about their daily birdie business.

What a beautiful photo of those little birds daring to paddle. The summer has gone here now but I see the magpies coming down to drink the rainwater.

The little birds are so cute, I have also a bird bath in the garden, not too deep, I do not want accidents.

My birdbath is tapered so the birds know their limit. Just as how I used to swim only in the shallows of the swimming pool Watching a crow bathe is fun too. It will splash half the water out. I have several videos of all these birds doing their thing.

that's what i miss with my pond bein' in current disrepair. the birds used to fuss 'n fight o'er who got to bath in the waterfall. i've'd the need to fish a few out with a net when they've ventured too close to the edge 'n wound up in the pond...'r were knocked off by 'nother bird who didn't wish to wait their turn. most entertainin' n relaxin' to watch 'em, aint it?

So very pretty, and the size of it is emphasised by the tiny birds. They seem very small?

They are not more than 3 inches and yet they dare to come to the bath.They come in groups. They will swim on the edges of the birdbath.
