Well, some of you made me teary and some of you made me laugh aloud. I liked the one about being your true self in the garden and the one about daily discovery. What a great thread! I used to have cockatiels but I decided it's the wild birds I love the most so I have society finches now. And I have nesting boxes for the garden singing. I think one of the reasons I feel dutiful to houseplants, but passionate for my gardens is the extra sensory input of the songbirds. This year I had 3 house wren family and it was pure heaven out there most of the summer. Here is a clip (press "House Wren Clip" under the bird photo) soze you can imagine this sound all day for months on end!!
