The joys of a birdbath :)

Romy from Bucklands Beach

Hello lovely neighbours,
this time of year, with rain so scarce, wild birds struggle to find water for themselves and their babies. If you can afford the $50 for the bath (Bunnings) and have 3 minutes a day to clean and replenish the water, please consider helping them out! We've had a birdbath in our front yard for a few years, and watching the commotion provides endless joy and entertainment. I promise you won't regret it. We get sparrows, starlings, blackbirds, waxeyes, doves, even the occasional grey warbler, all sharing the bath. Sadly, we have to move at the end of January, so now I'm concerned that all these wonderful little critters will be left high and dry. It would make my heart feel lighter if I knew someone else around the middle of the Parade was going to take over ... Thanks in advance!
