Yes Martin's
message about Currawongs regurgitating their pellets in a bird bath is another
common problem and as annoying as Ravens dunking their food. A bit harder to
understand though, as in that is waste after eating it. It does appear
intentional on their part and not just random.
The most
funny thing I saw at my bird bath was years ago a Sacred Kingfisher at the bath
and a blackbird making a big fuss about it being there, which the SK mostly
managed to ignore. About an hour later a blackbird was at the bird bath and the
Sacred Kingfisher, who had by then been perched in a nearby tree in view of the
bath, for a long time, flew a direct swoop by, right above the blackbird and
snapped its beak right above the blackbird's head, giving it a terrible fright
right in the middle of its bath! And I know we shouldn't be anthropomorphic but
that is a true story and makes me feel like some humour in that.
