Just for a laugh - what is it?

Is it a muddy outback highway? You will all remember those TV ads where the kids or animals traipse dirty muddy feet over the carpet and they have some new cleaning product or service that works a miracle clean. That's what we need here. This is the top rail along out back patio...or was! Last night we had very bad storms with lots of rain and hail. This morning, our Galahs came in for breakfast at 7.00am (the shop doesn't open earlier) and since they had got up at the crack of dawn and been down in the local park or creek grubbing out grass roots and stuff. They then fly in with clots of mud on their beaks and very dirty feet (red clay you might notice) that gets spread all over anything they walk on, especially the highly convenient back rail. So later, we have a clean up job to do, plates, the rail and even Mum's (read Jenny's) washing basket which happened to be out there temporarily! But we love them all and this morning, everyone, the Galahs and Sulphur Crested Cockatoos were having amazing fun in the trees and power lines around our suburb. They certainly love life.
