I was curious to look for the hiding places that birds choose when it becomes cloudy and threaten to rain!
I found that these three locations above are places that they fly for shelter!
Some birds like Sunbirds and Bulbuls avoid getting drenched in the rain. But the Magpie robins, Mynah and Greater coucal can be seen wandering in the lawn even in the rain!
The Bulbuls use the water bath for their water play and a dip, after which they pay attention to grooming the body and drying.
I realised as I watched these bird behaviours, that most birds look for hospitable environment!
After a heavy rain, I spotted a read weaver ant crawling on the flower of a large purple orchid !
A Bulbul and Barbet arrived at the feeding table after the shower looking dry! They sheltered themselves in a safe place during the roan!
The bird behaviour sometimes surprise me because there is an intelligent design behind what they do!
