Is it not a decadent moment in human history
that we have come to prefer the sound of birds
over the sounds of each other?
Putting up the bird feeder
Spicy food that deters the squirrels
but attracts the birds who sing
Perhaps, I miss the songs from the city
and prefer the sound of humans
to the sound of birds.

I have an app that identifies the birds by song and I find it so peaceful and use it now wherever I go! It’s not that I dont want to listen to the crowds of people daily but to identify what their songs are is much more difficult!
Your song I hear clearly!
Its hard to adjust to a new environment especially if moving from a big city, not hearing the 24/7 hustle and bustle can be quite frightening, I myself prefer the bird song any day, lovely write, very nicely done
Superb work.
