Waiting Their Turn

How does the saying go … 'save water bath with a friend'

When the lorikeets turn up like this we have to refill the bird bath a few times a day.

I had a treat this morning while I was having my early morning cuppa. I sat in our family room watching a lone lorikeet having a bath, he then waded from one side of the bath to the other like an Olympic swimmer. He did quite a few lengths and then had another bath. He kept me entertained for about 15 minutes before he eventually flew off. He did have a problem with take-off though because he was so wet. I think he definitely deserved a gold medal.

@golftragic Collective noun is probably a prattle. ha ha
