I love the birds in the mornings. The industrial size sprinklers were on at the golf course:
- the magpies stand near the sprinkler head but just far enough away that they don't get blasted off into space but get a nice constant mist
- the ducks stand where the water fall is heaviest. You can watch the ducks sploot flat as the water pelts down on them.
- the galahs take off, yelling and screaming, as the water comes around to them, OMG we're being attacked. Then land in exactly the same spot, only to scream into the air 45 seconds later with the next rotation of the sprinkler. I'm sure it's a great fun game; after all, they could go 2 metres away and they'd be safe.
