The reason for the birdbath.

A perfect plan was to install the bath for the small birds and many different species of small birds use this bath.

But in any plan, there is always a twist in the tail (tale).

They say that this is when life happens to spoil any plan.
Today I will show you the perfect plan in action and how mother nature decided to spoil the plan.
Come and have a look.

To illustrate how well our perfect plan worked here we had a delightful view of a couple of Cape Robin Chats at the bath.

Even the little Cape Sparrows and other small birds came to have a drink.

Mister Cape Robin Chat always has much attitude when he takes a bath.

A fierce flapping of his wings and tail to cleanse his body.

But then life happened to our plan!

The Egyptian Goose, lady Sally now uses the bird bath like I showed you yesterday.

And the Cape Ringneck doves use the bath of the Geese hahaha.

We always soak the special bread for the geese in the water to prevent them from choking on dry bread and the other birds have noticed it. Even some little field mice now visit the goose bath and it has been turned into a general feeding station.
The geese still pop in to eat from it, but they now prefer the bird bath for their bathing.
So we will leave the new plan as is.

And That's All Friends!
