Do you have a birdbath in your yard?

If yes,  have you joined the Bathing Bird survey?

 

All you have to do is record 20 minutes worth of bird watching a few times a week. Good excuse to sit by the window with a cuppa and a timtam Smiley Tongue

 

It does haven't to be a flash birdbah, even just a dish of water counts.

Perhaps we could have a special birdbath photo thread for the event.

Thanks for that, interesting.

I don't have a birdbath. Down the hill from my house is a rehabiltated wetlands with lots of birdlife.

We also have a huge lake just down the road, so plenty of water for the birdies around here

I have 2 out there.

 

One small "bird bath" type, about 2 inches deep.

 

 

Then I have a "pond" type on an angle which I keep filled all the time.

 

They can drink, bathe, shelter there when it is hot as it sits under a 12 foot Fushia Smiley LOL

Yes I do but you've all seen my birdbath before.  It doubles as a dogs paddling pool too.

I've registered my bird bath. I think I might register my stock trough too. The larger birds use it, crows, cockatoos etc. I also have a plastic container under a tree near my front gate. I put it there for the koalas and reptiles but I have seen the galahs and rosellas use it. Actually I won't register the stock trough, it's nearly empty. We need to find and fix the leak before refilling it.

 

 

I love your birdbath Bushie.  Hubby bought me mine for chrissy one year. It's that fake stone stuff. The paint is lifting from the inside and a piece broke when the neighbours dogs knocked it over recently.  I have buckets of water around for the dogs but they still prefer to drink from the birdbath. Maybe they like the taste of bird poop.

 

 

I have the usual bunch of resident birds most days but on really hot days I get a sursprising amount of newcomers, parrots mostly.

 

oh, there's a facebook page too. bathingbirds. It has some great pictures
