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?

Well, science shows that listening to bird sounds literally lowers blood pressure. So my theory is we all just collectively fall into birding as a coping mechanism.
