Splash, Splash!!

I don't think any birds antics beats the Robin Red Breast when it comes to bathing in the birdbath. 
Their excitement is undeniable!!








I have taken hundreds of pictures of the Robins in the birdbath,
 and I never get tired of watching and photographing their vigorous bathing techniques.
No bird bathes quite like a Robin!

What you say is absolutely true, Debbie. We have several species bathing regularly, but none seem to do it with same gusto as the robins. No doubt it helps with feather maintenance and removal of ectoparasites but it is hard not to conclude that they do it for sheer enjoyment too. A shower is a rest pleasure for us, why not for them too?

I enjoyed the pictures, he looks so happy. I can't have bird baths or bird houses, there is too many outdoor cats around, birds don't stand any chance here.
