For some time now I have been
wondering why there were white and purple berries in my bird bath and had
assumed that they were from blackbird's excrement.
This morning I watched a male
blackbird standing on the edge of the bath. Over a 7 minute period he
twice regurgitated a white berry into the water. The white "berries" are
probably Pittosporum berry seeds and the purple Ivy berry seeds.
Am I the last person to make
this observation. Do they regurgitate all seeds or do some pass
through?
