She looks so cute, but then cuteness is deceiving, so come and see.
A Sunday laugh to show you how cuteness makes way for entitlement.
There is one drinking place in our garden and the squirrels think that it belongs to them. So everyone else that wants to enjoy the bath, has to watch out for the squirrels. They have a habit of eating nuts that dry their throats and then they don't care who is on the bath when they want to drink. Come and see the action here.
The squirrel reminded me of entitlement.
Look at the right of the photo as the squirrel jumped up on a log that I placed there for them to get up on the birdbath when they are thirsty.
Note that the doves were occupying the birdbath.
Bang! The squirrel simply jumped up onto the bath, scattering the doves.
All of this so that she can take a drink.
Here was another occasion.
Again the same thing happened. Here below the doves sat around peacefully.
All of a sudden there was pandemonium as a thirsty squirrel arrived.
Again only to take a drink.
Nothing that the doves can do except to flee. But then after a while peace is restored and the doves simply return. I have seen this done many times on a day, and I am hoping for the day to come when the doves will remain on the bath when the squirrel arrives so that they can all drink together.
A long shot, me thinks, but with nature one never knows. So in the meantime it will be still the jump and flight approach.
Hope that you enjoyed the post, the laugh, and the photos.
And That's All Friends.
