The Missus says for my New Year’s resolution, I should have a bath.
All right! I’ll show her I’m a tough guy. Just because it’s freezing…. I’ll take it like a man.
Krrrrrrikey! What was I thinking?!
That’s enough of that. If she doesn’t like it, she can just smell me later.

Love the bird talk, it gave me a laugh. Thinking of dipping in cold water gave me a shiver. You always have great photos to share.

Thanks, Mags. There’s always something happening around here. No cold baths for me either!

We established a mini-bird bath a couple of years ago, and have noticed in that time there definitely is a drop-off in “time in the water” when it is freezing out.🥶

That’s what I would expect, too, but I was surprised that any birds wanted a bath that day. It was chilly and there were three birds kicking each other out of the bird bath, one after another.

I thought so too. Shocking to see the birds get into the bath when it was near freezing.

A handsome little bird with spunk. I’ve never seen one.

What a sight of the bird taking a bath. I’ll get a bird path or do a homemade one as you suggested.

They like it not too flashy. I may have told you I had no takers with a really pretty (too bright) bird bath.
