One of the things that gives me pleasure is to watch the garden birds that visit my birdbath. They range in size from from pigeons to sparrows and they use the water for drinking and bathing. They have different ways of drinking. The smaller birds dip their beaks in then tip their heads back to swallow. The pigeons dip their heads in up to the eyes and appear to gulp. Sometimes they get right into the water but they are lazy bathers compared to the smaller birds. I've never seen the collared doves bathing but they visit often for a drink. Our resident blackbird has a vigorous all over wash every morning while the sparrows wait patiently and deferentially on the edge of the bird bath until he has finished. Then they get in and have a splash. I have some large pebbles in the water for the little birds but they usually jump right in although some of the sparrows make use of an old dinner plate that's on the ground if they get fed up waiting for blackie to have done! I'll post a photo when I can find where my kindle has stashed it!
