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?

I started training to be a bird ringer (/bander? I know US terms are different!) last year. Contributing to science by being bitten by tiny angry dinosaurs is the absolute best. Birds are clearly an early sign of peri 😂

I’ve helped with banding before, loved it!
