Backyard Visitors

My bird bath is proving very popular since I set it up in the backyard recently. I had been wondering why the bath was full of seeds and found out today that the Currawongs regurgitate the seeds after drinking, always thought the seeds were excreted out the other end. The particular Currawong shown in the pic had a drink then flew up to the fence and brought the seeds up, fancy that.

A great symbiotic relationship, the bird is casting the seeds to sprout elsewhere. Nature is wonderful. Accidental design of evolution?
