A couple of our local native parrots were having a bath in the bird bath outside our dining room window this morning. They sure splash the water out as you can see by the 2nd picture. We have to keep topping it up. We get quite a variety of birds coming for their daily baths and drinks. Shirley

They are a very timid bird. Thought they may fly away when they saw movement, but must have been enjoying the water too much.

We top the bath up every day and sometimes 2 or 3 times like when birds like these splash it all out over the side.

What a lovely view. My mom kept two bird baths, one like your pedestal, the other an upside down metal trash can lid on bricks on the ground. She freshened the water every other day. She said some species preferred being up in the air and some liked the ground!

Yes we have another bath down on the ground. Sometimes there are up to 7 or 8 little birds in it at the same time. We have a great advantage point to watch from the window.

Oh, they are wonderful! Are they a type of budgerigar? We call them paraketes here in the US. Our parrots love the water, but they are African Greys and quite a bit larger. Thanks for sharing the photos with us!

I am not quite sure of their correct name. They are larger that the budgerigar though.

Nice Pics, Shirley. They do look like the bigger native budgerigars that I see if I go driving in Northern Victoria -but maybe that's 'cos they're so wet! Good of you to keep them supplied so well. Do you have fruit trees for them to raid as well?

Not sure what type of parrot they are. There are quite a few around this area. No we don't have fruit trees, so they will have to raid someone elses orchard. Shirley

They sure do love it. I was lucky to get the photos as they are a very timid bird. One flew off while I was taking the photos.

They are really enjoying their bath. Once my dad was sitting outside and the birds were being very vocal and he noticed the bird bath had been taken as other neighbors ornamental lawn decorations were. He went and got the trash can lid and filled it with water and then they settled down.
