Them birds are beginning to take things a bit too cushy ...I'm quite used to seeing my flock of Tree Sparrows dust bathing in a sand patch out front or making a right royal splash in the bird bath out back, but now they seem to be expecting a bit of luxury too.
Some mornings back, I looked out into the garden and decided to turn on the fountain in one of the ponds ...not long after, what did I see? Fluttering in the top of the fountain, almost 'sitting' on the water jet, were the sparrows! Taking it in turns, they'd flit out from the apple tree nearby, ride the top of the fountain, then fly back up to the tree to preen and dry off!
Do I have pampered sparrows or has anybody else out there seen similar?
