I had posted this photo a while ago in the birding community, thought it would fit in well here too. The robin in the rain made me think of it ๐

All things related to rain are welcome. Want to post a weather forecast? A puddle? A raindrop on a window? Does it look like it might rain soon? Or it just finished? We love the rain, and we welcome it all.

And some bonus wet parakeets:
That top one's got a cowlick on its head!
I thought it was bed hair, but cowlick is pretty good!
I love all of your photos and I'm still super jealous that you've got wild ringnecks in your back yard. ๐ฅฐ
Oh thank you, yeah so nice to have them here. I was on a longer holiday and while i was gone some woman from a neighbour house put some letters around the neighbourhood, and apparently even inside our house on the letterboxes, complaining about us (i guess guy from downstairs and me) feeding the birds, especially about the parakeets since they would make so much noise. And they'd be breeding oppsite of the yard. The horror! And that the pigeons pick up scraps from the small bird feeders, how dare they!
Was such a bummer when i came back home, i was so curious how all the birds would be going off, but it seemed everybody had removed their feeders and it was kinda quiet. I did not see the letters myself, guy from downstairs just told me about it.
I did not set up my feeders yet because the breeding pigeons on my balcony, and i am going on holiday again as well, will do so when i come back home, guy from downstairs will set his up too in october. As long as the people in my house are ok with us feeding birds, which they are, i don't care what that woman thinks. Also mid october will be the time when the parakeets will be sitting in the hornbeam in the garden, snacking its seeds non stop for a week or so, haha. Looking forward to that.
To each their own I suppose. I know ringnecks can be noisy but then again I'm a mad parrot lady so that's right up my alley.
