The Yellow Billed Babbles visiting the birdbath has become regular, though I don’t check
them out daily, I’m sure they are there almost every day and if not for
bathing, at least to take few sips and forage on the gain we left on the compound
wall. I hang a birdfeeder outside my home but these birds (and any other birds)
ever took seeds or grains from it, perhaps the height or getting balance through
the feeder keeps them away but babbles being mostly forage on the grounds with
short flights expecting them to pick from feeder is not possible.
A bang usually
marks the arrival of the babblers and the noise increases when they are near
the birdbath. Yesterday a couple of monkeys came drinking water from the birdbath,
scattered the grains all over after filling their mouths, the babblers were on the
ground again to pick grains. The grains were kept on a plastic bowl and they didn’t
touched it last few days, but now going on ground to pick from muddy.
Usually I take
photos, but this time I also tried a short video on the birds with quick dips. Follows

Good idea to have the bird feeder and bird bath in your garden. You get to watch the birds and photograph them. Have a beautiful day!
