I must say I am gratified that so many MEN are hanging out the washing.  
Perhaps male birdos are all SNAGs.

While we're on this topic and not to be outdone, I'm doing the washing just now 
and whilst hanging out same had a mixed feeding flock of Weebills, Striated 
Thornbills, Superb Fairy-wrens, White-browed Scrubwrens, a White-eared HE and 
Eastern Spinebills surrounding me (and not, as some might suggest, just there 
to witness this strange event!). We had a Black Duck (and a Blackbird, but not 
with each other) nest not 5 metres from our clothesline last season. 
Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoos (and sometimes a Yellow-tailed Yellow-Cockatoo) 
often join in the spectacle.
