Well, look on the bright side, Shelley. At least Bob enjoys coming to your bird bath.. We don't have any doves here this winter--that I've seen.

Happy 2009.
Hugs,
Betsy

Happy New Year Shelley

Kim said...

Ha Shelley, I can finally understand your frustration. My heated bird bath is a mess. Yesterday the starlings pooped in there and now the goldfinches keep dropping nyjer seed in it.

Bob is a creature of habit I suppose. ;o). Very funny picture.

I wonder if Bob may be saying that we might all be pooping into our giant bird bath that we depend on. :)

Happy birdbath cleaning!

Denise said...

Well, your Bob must visit my birdbaths, downstate. I don't get many birdy visitors to my birdbath at the cabin. ...I don't know why. I wonder if it's because we are on a lake. Things that make you go hmmmm.....

Shelley said...

Mildred - he is and I still love him! lol!

Betsy - I'll send you some of his many relatives!

ROFL, Shell. Great birdbath and dove photo...speaks volumes. :D I have the same problem with bird doo cascading down the top of the bird feeder. Perhaps we should provide a fly in outhouse for the dear birds.


Happy New Year, hon!!!

Hugs, JJ
