PASSERIFORMES: Petroicidae
Petroica boodang
Bath day at Robin's.
It was a chilly Victorian May morning. A bit of sun would have been nice.
Then this crazy little bird waded out into the dam in front of me and started its ablutions in the freezing water.
I felt several degrees colder just watching it.
Respect, my little friend, respect. You're the man. I mean bird. Now please excuse me. I need to go find a hot coffee.
