I was asked if the birds actually use their tents when it rains

Yes.  Yes we do.

That’s how I endure the ugliness of the plastic A-frames – seeing the birds all run to it when the rain starts pelting down.

Haven’t seen them all day, as they’ve been out somewhere being adorable, but Sir Galahad and the keets of the round table know where to find shelter.   

Awww, they’re starting to snuggle in for a warming!
