Rain, wetness and baby birds! Part one!

We were warned that today would be wet and cold! But nobody warned the young birds! As you can see, for a change the weather fundi's had their predictions spot on and it will be more of the same for a while! Perhaps our early winter rain warning that the cold will soon be upon us here in South Africa.

Our Potato bush seems to enjoy the wet weather.

The adult and mature birds have the habit of patiently sitting the rain out!

But not this little guy! He ended up early this morning in our garden screaming for food! We have two of them and they seem to be identical twins!

Look at this! He sits and eats and the rain or the wetness simply doesn't bother him! I doubt that the fact that he can't fly when he is wet doesn't bother him either!

![IMG_7210.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSWQ3DPxzZAUrDVEwQVTfTkDydtLANi5RS4972XSu3GkD/IMG_7210.JPG)

And when he is done eating, what does he do? Well he simply glazes his eyes over and sits in the fruit tray for the day!  The visiting of other birds during some breaks in the rain, doesn't bother him and he has peace with his world!
Imagine a Sunday in your home on the couch after a heavy meal, sort of the same effect here!

Did I say we have two of the little Barbets? I will show you the other one tomorrow in "Part 2" of this post! In the meantime we hope that you have enjoyed this part of our rainy day!

That Barbet does look 'chilled' enjoying the cooler weather.

Very "cool" youngster Lady Joan and not scared! They are normally very shy birds, but I think the new generation in the suburbs are taking on a city vibe!
