BIRD NEWS: 10

February 21st 2012 18:01
Today, I am going to share some pictures of a group of starlings enjoying the plastic bird bath, despite the chilling weather having iced part of it over. This lil fellow seemed to be the bravest - looking hopefully - then trying it out for a drink.

Next, he tried it out for a bath - brrrrrrrrr!

Then, seeing how much their fellow starling was enjoying itself, the rest came along - a few at a time. Maybe the ice was not as cold as it looked....

Shortly after these photos, as a few more massed in the local tree tops - a cat appeared on the scene and they all vanished!

That's a great sequence of pictures, with beautiful close ups. They must be pretty hardy, taking a bath in ice water.

Those starlings bathe in any weather so long as the water is partly wet and not all frozen! 2-3 times a day they empty out the bath!
