no comment on where you are, but if in suburban Sydney, it’s been so dry they 
may have been looking for a drink?  
(As well as my bird bath, we have used some (cleaned) saucers for flower pots 
and filled them with water to give the birds an alternative.)

Hi all,

Slightly off topic but hopefully someone can help.

I have a metal-framed vinyl swimming pool, 3m diameter that I set up for the
kids in the back yard every summer.

On Monday I found a dead Noisy Miner in the pool.

On Tuesday another.

Today, a dead kookaburra.

8 years or so with no drowned birds, then 3 in 3 days.

I cannot think of any plausible explanation for this expect coincidence. Any
ideas?

 

Paul.
