Hullabaloo!

I thought the circus had put up a big top in the back garden, but it was only a mob of helmeted friarbirds taking a dip in the bath. There was so much squawking and squabbling and jostling that even a passing brush turkey gave them a look of disapproval.

They were in the garden


In the trees


They were in the water


Up to their knees


And while they were drying


In the sun


Someone else was having fun
