Bird bath first?

Yes, first at the bird bath and then feeding on the ground.

Nice, so there was a previous Superb Parrot bird bath photo, but to clarify my initial question to John, it was just inquiring if this was the first time he's seen them at his particular bird bath.

OK. i should know irony never seems work in these contexts. I was just curious as to whether the species had been recorded at a bird bath before.

I thought Matt was asking if they appeared at the birdbath before feeding on the ground. I've seen them at my birdbath previously, but not for some months.
