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