    SSSSSoooooooooooooooooooooooooo adorable … you just couldn’t resist, now could you!!!!!!!!! HAHAHA!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!! Darling widdle sing!!!!! <~ that’s “thing” in baby-bird talk. Look at those pin feathers!!!!!! What I want to know is, what do you load your birdbath up with??? Birdy party punch or something???

  • Jan Piller replied

    Vodka!!! hahaha no – it’s not a bird bath – it’s a fountain – so they not only get a bath, they get a shower from the top – they love that. WE had the electrical run under the ground when they put the patio in so we could have the fountain – the moving water keeps the algae from building up also.

    ahHA!!! VERY cool … yes, my birdbath … which is very pretty … gets few visitors. The algae is a huge problem (especially this year with all this bloomin’ rain!), and we get very few visitors … we’ve tried a couple of things, but haven’t really found a solution yet. The moving water is definitely the ticket!!! Clever you!!!!!

    Such a pretty baby bird, I love it. Did you ever get a shot of one in the shower!
    Please keep taking them.

  • Jan Piller replied

    Yes – I’ve got shots of the sparrows in the shower but the larger birds can’t maneuver about under the spray.
