Just moved to a new place. I so badly want to set up my bird feeders, but priorities ☹️ Hopefully, by the end of the week. The previous owners left behind a bird bath. They clearly didn’t maintain it, but I can already see birds using it. That was next to add to my #backyardbird ensemble, so I’m to go clean it up and add to my set up #birdnerd 🐦🤓
