I have the fountain out after lunchtime and the traditional bath in the morning. I didn't record it in any way but the bath action was frantic this morning. Chocobo tried to have her usual splash but she was descended upon by up to five budgies at a time. Herman, Finrod, Gurgeh, Maddy Prior and Finarfin. The buds kept diving in and standing on Chocobo's tail. She took it good-naturedly for the most part, administering beak bashes where required and retiring from the field of conflict when it got too much and returning when it calmed down. I'll be honest, I was too entranced to even think of grabbing the camera.

Finally, some budgie customers! Mr Hibs & Loric were first: Then Maddy made an approach: An unflattering angle of Gurgeh but posterity must be preserved regardless!

Oh Gurgeh, at least you donβt know exactly what your daddy has shared with us all. The fountain looks like itβs going to be popular loz.

The buds should know, they are never safe from my camera

I've replaced the existing fountain with a new one. The original wasn't suitable for bathing in, which means it really wasn't any use for the purpose I had in mind. A different design, a couple of days and: 1drv.ms/v/s!AnyoyWilEZ_Xh7t6lw2Vo6IrYr-_-A?e=E61UDBI missed the beginning of the scene - my smartphone was hideously slow at offering me the camera facility - but at least six different budgies were taking advantage of the new feature The old fountain is upstairs and is being used/ignored by the Quarantine Twins.

Ah yes, much better suited as a bird bath - they seemed to have gotten the idea right away! Chocobo was so funny! When she decided it was time for her bath, no budgies were allowed.

Chocobo looks so funny, flouncing in the water like that!
