| That was a great video! Really lovely pond you have. The landscaping is beautiful. You guys have quite a few koi! My goldfish "play" also. I've seen them sort of float to the skimmer where the water gets pulled into the filter and rush away so they don't get sucked in. I thought at first they were just being stupid but they keep doing this over and over again. Its looks to me like they are playing. |

| When I'm adding water the fish like to fall in line facing the hose and swim as fast as they can. It looks like play but maybe instinct is there, too. It's fun to watch, whatever the reason. Nice video, thanks. |

| Maybe they're letting you clean off their barnacles. haha |

| That was beautiful and very calming! Your pond, fish and plants are beautiful! Thanks for sharing. |

| Loved the video...a funny thing though, I have a couple of zebra finch brothers...I usually take their cover off around 10 am, but they started squeaking as soon as I turned your video on...when I muted it they quieted down, but as soon as I turned the sound back on they went nuts again..I guess I need to watch them better when adding water to my little pond. |

| Thanks for your kind comments everyone. Cheryl, we use to have zebra finches, they are so cute and lively. Did you get any babies yet? Now we have a canary and a love bird. The water running in the kitchen makes my canary sing. I keep my birds in the kitchen. When I play my videos |

| Joann, my finches are brothers so no, no babies. I have a pair of diamond dove sisters and a parakeet too. I have been playing that video of yours and I swear they all look happy listening. Thanks again. |

| cheryl, what are diamond dove sisters? finches? do you have a pic? check out my video from June 20th -- it's the one that is |

| Loved the video and all the gorgeous koi. I spray my rocks down about once a week, and my goldies and koi love it also. Many times I turn the water on low, and let it spray into the pond. They will swim through it, under it, and sometimes jump up into the spray. When I get into the pond, to trim and such, they follow me around like kids wanting candy. When I move from one place to the next, the hubby says it looks like a little orange train and I'm the engine. |

| Joann, here is a picture of my Diamond Doves...they're sisters...about the size of a Canary. They coo all the time...they realize if they coo louder I will give them a treat... [IMG]http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z19/Cheryl91148/DD-1.jpg[/IMG]  |
