Birds & Blooms’ Friday Fun Photo for January 11, 2013: Kangaroo at Birdbath by Anne Peters of Coffin Bay, South Australia. Anne’s daughter Kym sent this photo in for her, mentioning that sometimes kangaroos would wander over from the adjacent Coffin Bay National Park for a bite of lawn or, as you can see, a drink from the birdbath.
This fun photo just begs for a clever caption, and we can’t wait to hear yours. Let the Friday Fun begin!

All day I search a barren waste without a taste of water. Cool clear water.
“It was fun but I’ll never drink again”
1-2-3-4 ready or not here I come!
This is great, but not enough.
Wow, a cup with the correct height for me!! Just when I was hopping for a fresh drink of water!
Uh-oh, Marge! The rats are eating the Miracle-Gro again!
Hop along birdies, it’s my turn!
Ah! At last a water source just my height. Bending over all the time sure gets the neck and back. Thanks Annie
So “HOPPY” to find water!!
It’s a bird bath, but oh what the heck?
“I just love these Hop and drink places”.
Oh what a night!
Happy Hour at last!
Hooooney,,,, come see this Squirrel
Ahhhh just the right height!
Cotton mouth sucks!
I’m so tired can’t believe I hopped that fast.
“Birds so it, bees do it, even giant kangaroos do it”
” I thought Dodo Birds were extinct ! “
I’m so light headed I just need to help hold my head. I have a great kick stand but holds me from falling backwards.
I’ll be back to this watering hole again. Never seen one so high up before.
Like this one.
Look my very on bowl of water, ahhhh
So this is what the birds get, I’ll just drink it all.
No worries, no crocks in this water……………
OH! So this is what they call outback here!
TASTES LIKE CHICKEN !
What do you call a bird like that?
I imagined the facial at this spa a little differently.
I just needed a cold drink!
I love decorative water glasses.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I’ve come a long way and I need a drink!
What was in that Shirley Temple I drank last night?
man, they make the best punch here!
Finally, a decent drinking glass!
The things I have to do to get a drink!
Ahhhhh-This is so good I just can’t seem to get enough. ***
I finally found a place to rest my head!
What have you never seen a kangaroo bird before?
This water fountain is for the birds!
“Joey” was right; awesome drinkin’ hole!
Roose the ‘Roo for holding his head up high in a difficult situation!
Glad the birds didn’t drink all the water, I am thirsty.
This is the marsupial version of “hugging the porcelain god the morning after the party” …..
I must admit that this is a very cute picture. But, are you aware of the horrible heat wave that has hit southern Australia. Many, many animals are dying from the heat. Glad to see people are keeping their bird baths full of water.
a nice refreshing drink helps along the way, so i’ll fill up and be on my journey this day.
I need a fill up !
My caption for the above photo is—-
Thank you kids for holding the water bowl still so I can get a drink.

If my front legs weren’t so short, then I wouldn’t have to rest like this!
That water tasted sooooooooooo good.
