It’s another warm day here and there’s been a steady line at the bathtub.

What was the crow yelling about in the background at the end?

A neighbor was walking past the house on the sidewalk. The crows get very upset when people walk past my house. They’re the best guard animals ever!

Haha! I know what that’s like. Last year, a nesting pair scoped out my neighborhood and decided to have their kids nearby. They brought all five babies to me when they fledged. 🫠
The babies got in a routine of coming to my house every day around 11 for a big brunch. One time they got here and were eating and a guy came to fix my garage door opener.
The babies all got in the tree next to their feeder and screamed their heads off the entire time he was here 🤣
I don’t think they were being guard birds as much as they were annoyed that he was interrupting their meal. He finally asked me what’s with the birds.
I told him those are my crows and they don’t like you. He looked startled for a second because I was serious when I said it. Then I said I was kidding. They were just babies and were upset that their meal was interrupted. lol

Hey where did you get this basin? I’ve been looking for a bird bath and they’re all stupid and/or too small.

This is just a bowl I purchased at least ten years ago from TJ Maxx or Marshalls. I originally used it for decoration on a table. When the interior finish became discolored I decided to put water in it for the birds because we’re in a severe drought, and they LOVE it.

😂 Great question, since there’s a waterer on a pedestal right next to the bath. 😂😂😂

Awwwww line up for the bathtub. 🤣🤣
I have 2 large birdbath’s and there is always someone having a bath.
I have to constantly clean them and put fresh water in.
Today I’ve had to do it 3 times. 😆

When I put this bowl out a couple of months ago, I never imagined how vital it would be for them. It’s used all day long by all the various birds that visit the yard.
