    They make a mess on the lawn furniture but it is well worth it to clean it every week for all the fun we get out of watching them...

    That robin must have been a very dirty bird! That is a lovely bird bath, too.

    That Robbie Dobbie just have been very dirty. Probably from all that digging in the dirt for worms. He must be happy to be washed up now.

    I love to see all the birds take baths.

    The robin would bathe and shake on the chair and then jump right back in...He had done it at least 3 times when I was watching....he works hard for his meals
