The Daily Word Prompt January 6: Thirst
As this drought drags on I have been putting out water for the birds (I always have had bird baths and water for birds) and animals. Since the fires have ravaged my property I have also been putting out Macropod food for the Wallabies and any other marsupial who cruises through. The food is dry so they need a water source nearby to quench their thirst.
An Olive-backed Oriel enjoys a drink
A Pied Currawong dropped by to quench his thirst
A drink and a bath was needed by a couple of Rainbow Lorikeets
The Crimson Rosellas lined up to take their turn
A King Parrot really enjoyed his drink
A Red-necked Wallaby and her Joey found the bucket of water after they had a snack
The Big Bloke, the boss of the garden, licked his lips after a drink
They must have appreciated your offerings, Brian.

Only Stingless Native Bees. I fear the beekeepers boxes may have been burnt unless he moved them prior

They have disappeared here too. They don’t like the smoke and not much is flowering.
