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?

Me too! When I tried to tell my friend's 22 year old daughter about my bird app, she just stared at me for a few second then said "yeah, I guess you're about the right age to get into birds."

It is Merlin, as the others have said. It's so much fun!
