I was treated to the delightful sight of 10 birds sharing the waterbowl just after lunchtime today. 6 baby starlings and 4 baby sparrows were all taking a drink or bath at the same time. There was a lot of chattering and chirping going on - but no fighting. I guess they had yet to learn that starling are supposed to chase sparrows out of the water bowl!
It was nice to see the different breeds getting along, albeit at young age only, unlike us humans. Can you imagine two opposing religions, cultures, or citizens of two warring countries sharing a sauna or spa for instance? Perhaps, but….
The birds knew what they wanted - water - and what they wanted to do with it - drink or bathe - and simply did this. When adult, I expect they will fight amongst themselves as well as inter-species dominance displays, but it was nice to watch them all getting along - for now!
