Brown Thrasher Imitates a Puffer Fish





A Puffer Fish in the Backyard, not really, but took me by surprise when I saw this inflated brown thing on the grass. First the Thrasher shares a meal with Mr Squirrel and shows off its characteristic thrashing and pounding of the ground, then a well-deserved bath and then a Puffer Fish air dry (3:20) - all in a days work for these entertaining personalities. These birds will make your day! And if you don't believe the Puffer Fish imitation ( which are fairly common in Florida) also know as a blow fish or porcupine fish - just check out https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/6... even the colors, open mouth and eyes match. I can't recall ever seeing a songbird inflate itself to help dry off.
