A Teeny Tiny Bird Is Using A Flower Petal Aa A Bathtub Right Now!

RAHUL SINGH HAS BEEN TAKING AMAZING WILDLIFE PHOTOS IN AND AROUND HIS HOME IN JALPAIGURI, INDIA, FOR SIX YEARS.

Elephants, rhinos, deer, jackals, and monkeys have all been photographed by him, but his primary interest is for the spectacular birdlife in and around his hometown.

He captured a very remarkable moment in time last year, around August, that left him spellbound.

Because Rahul lives in a humid environment where precipitation is common, he stumbled across a Sunbird who wasn’t about to let all that accumulated water go to waste when he went out early one morning after some recent drizzle.

Rahul told The Dodo, “I went to an area where there were bushes of these ornamental bananas to snap shots of sunbirds drinking nectar from it.”

“Everything was going as usual when the crimson sunbird began bathing in the water held in the banana blossom petal,” says the narrator.

After finishing her meal, the small bird decided it was time for a bath and used the petal as her own personal bathtub.

“I was astounded to observe such strange conduct,” Rahul added. “As the bird bathed, I kept the shutter button pushed on my camera.”

Rahul, ecstatic to have been in the right place at the right time, shared his precious photos on Instagram, where thousands more people were equally enthralled.

“This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Rahul added. “It never ceases to amaze me how nature may surprise us.”
