39 Degrees C Watering Hole

So hot here today and the temperatures reached 39 degrees C.

The poor rainbow lorikeets were trying their best to stay cool by the bird bath.

Sorry for the group reply. Another very hot day today. 9.15 am and already 33 C. Only dropped to 27 last night. Hoping for a cool change later today.

The lorikeets were very chatty, probably complaining about the heat and hoping I would put seed down for them soon.

[haskar]

Cute shot.

[Debra]

Beautiful colors and detail...such a fun capture

[Kathy]

Hard to believe these exist the wild. This is so great and colorful.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Wow- they look as prolific as our sparrows! But how fun and colorful to have them in your backyard. I just love all the birds lined up in this shot- it reminds me of people standing in a line (or que as I think you folks like to say!). Everybody's got something to say. Great shot- and stay cool!

[Bill]

What great bird bath decorations they make.

[Rick Aubin]

The whimsy, and the color in this is inspired

[Babs]

@haskar @dridsdale @randystreat @cwbill @rickaubin @shutterbug49 @rickster549 @kjarn @yaorenliu @cdcook48 They were queueing up to get a drink, there were more in our frangipani tree waiting patiently.

@olivetreeann They are very chatty and were probably complaining about the heat.

@bluemoon Thanks Paula. They are so entertaining to watch.

[CC Folk]

Love it...I love those colorful birds! fav

[Elyse Klemchuk]

I agree with what everyone has said- this is such a treat for me on yet another cloudy, grey, chilly day here in Chicagoland! It's 39 degrees Fahrenheit (3.8 Centigrade) today. I like to see pictures of these colorful, chatty birds!

[katy]

Such beautiful looking birds, and composed so nicely in this photo. No wonder it went to the TT Babs.

[CC Folk]

Nice to see this on the TT as it was one of my favorites! Gorgeous birds!
