A mini-sprinkler system should be set up for these visitors. Or would that be pandering too much to them?!

They have enough places to cool off. When it’s hot I don’;t have much water to spare but always have bowls placed around the yard 🙂

Wow! Beautiful birds. I take it the Drongo is stupid bird by his name lol. Is Tiny your pet? He’s magnificent!

Spangled Drongos are quite intelligent. Not sure how that derogatory name came about. Tiny isn’t a pet. He just seems to like hanging out around the house perhaps as he is smaller that other King Parrots they may pick on him. He does have a partner though and she comes with him to sit on the verandah regularly.

Ha! Figures he’s intelligent with that name. He looks a bit like a crow we have. If he is in the order corvus that explains his brain power they’re so smart they watch fisherman hooking maggots and catching fish and learn to do the same with lures of their own.
How nice to have such a spectacular bird like Tiny hanging around. Your a lucky person living in an area full of majestic birds.

There are around ten King Parrots that come around most days to check out the garden. When the fires came through and decimated my place, I out food out for the birds and a lot have stayed on. I out some seed out on occasion but not enough to let them loose the ability to forage for themselves.
