Another bird bathing

Today Vince was taking photos of little birds bathing in our birdbath. This is one of his efforts. It’s what we call a ‘silvereye’ because of the white ring around the eye. My mother was not fond of these little fellows as they used to peck holes in her fruit. He looks a bit cold and wet really. What do you think would be a good name for him? Fluffy perhaps?

Gorgous looking bird there, I would call that bird, "Goldie".

@simone10 Sometimes the birds look really cross about something.

Cute pic, he looks a bit mad if you ask me. He was asking Vince, "Can't you see I am indisposed?"

@JudyEv I had to move a half grown chicken the other day, I was kinda surprised at how little it was under all the feathers

@JudyEv He definitely needs to schedule an appointment with a hairdresser! And the sooner the better!

He is cute for sure. I think he might be waiting for the hairdressers to open.

What a cute little bird. I love that you share pictures of your wildlife with us because they're so different than what we have here in the US. He looks like he has a bit of bed head!

It's all because of the coronavirus. The hair-dressers are all shut!

That's a good name. I can't make up my mind whether he looks grumpy or just half-asleep. lol

@JudyEv Many birds eat like that. It is a pain.

It wouldn't have been so bad if they ate a whole fruit but they'd just take a pick here and a pick there.

@judyev He doesn’t look too chirpy there. Maybe when he dries out.

He needs to get to a hair-dresser once the lockdowns are lifted.

I wonder what birds think about humans watching them as they bathe. do you think they talk about us doing that?

They don't seem to put off mating if we're watching so I guess it doesn't bother them too much.
