This little bird bath gets a lot of action...birds fly up from the pergola feeding area to get a drink from this birdbath when they have a large one right there.... Here is a juvenile oriole. He was fun to watch, he jumped right in without any hesitation. I think he has been here beforelll Juvenile Oriole ( photo / image / picture from Sherry8's Garden ) Juvenile Oriole and and someone waiting to bathe ( photo / image / picture from Sherry8's Garden ) Oriole and a female House finch ( photo / image / picture from Sherry8's Garden ) The Blue Jay seems to be looking at the cement birds asking their permission to use the bird bath....

That's cute! I'm not used to seeing blue jays be polite! I thought the blue jay might be thinking , "How thirsty am I? Do I really want to drink water that somebody else was bathing in?"
I think they are all wondering, "Who are those cold, gray, hard guys? They just sit on the side never seeming to take a bath. Well, I'm not waiting for them to decide to jump in...."
