I do the same thing! btw, that’s an impressive reading list that you and R. Dooley are tackling.

You talk with the small birds in your garden? Isn't it fun. One of the beds I care for is a mature rose bed with 30+ bushes, and in summer, you have to crawl around under the thorny branches to weed. We have a small community of European Robins (Rotkehlchen, in German) and inevitably one of them will become curious and visit me while I’m digging. They come quite close, and I can’t resist talking with them. It’s mostly a one-way conversation, but the more one talks to them, the more comfortable they seem to become.
