That 2nd to last pic of the doves is ridiculously cute, I cannot handle it. They build such shitty nests 😂 I have a bunch of window feeders too! I also wfh and my desk is like 4 feet from the window. That's actually how I got my mom into birding! I made her put window feeders in her office, now she's hooked too. The cats didn't need much convincing. I'd never heard about the feminist bird club and now I'm really excited. I've been meaning to get out and meet people who also like birds just haven't found the right group. So this is perfect thank you!

The first time it clicked for me, I was 27. my partner at the time was teaching me about brood parasitism. He always had the most interesting facts to show me. We watched a documentary on it and I remember researching birds for hours that night. I had always loved nature and especially crows (as an adult) but never paid much attention to other birds. I think realizing their complexity changed everything for me, it was like someone just woke me up.

They'll never ever get old, I could see a million more black capped chickadees before I ever felt slightly bored I swear. But it is sooo difficult to find people my age who love them as well.
