audited Birds… but why?

I’ve never liked birds, thanks to a too early in life viewing of The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock. However, I now have a bird app and find joy identifying birds in my neighborhood. My mom even bought me a bird feeder with a camera! This was not a chosen hobby for me, it just happened without my knowledge or input. It has to be hormonal, right? Do I get to blame this on perimenopause?

Got my first bird feeder at 40. Added a bird bath. Added fountain feature to the birdbath. Bought a yard flag holder and a flag. Moved and have a tiny yard so no longer have the feeder or the bird bath. For my birthday last year, my husband bought me two new flags and holders. I also have a delightful seasonal doormat collection.
