    Fun fact, birds can see a wider band of the electromagetic spectrum (still appears as violet to red but spaced further apart) which causes the sky to shift in color as the earth tilts on its axis relative to the electromagnetic field and this is currently hypothesized to be how they navigate and tell the seasons apart. So instead of noticing the changes in foliage, they might just prefer the sky to be a specific tone.

        Alternatively, “there’s too much color in this neighborhood”. Those racist pricks. It’s about time we exposed birds for their bigotry.

        It can be multiple things but a lot of birds migrate before major food or temperature changes. Imagine flying 600 miles on an empty stomach.

            I’m so sorry, I hope your life situation has improved so you’re not as desperate in the future

    Winter is the best season.

    You snowbirds don’t know what you’re missing.

      No bugs, less sun, way less heat, no stupid lawn to maintain for the stupid HOA. Paradise!

        no bugs

        That is a considerable problem when bugs are a big part of your diet.

    I love cold weather, but cold weather in the city kinda sucks.

        Somewhat.

        At least there are some splashes of color and ocassional smells of nature.

        Cold weather makes cities even more dystopian than they already are.

    I canceled all events I wanted to visit, this week. It’s too cold and everything hurts. My joints hurt and my ears just got an inflammation from being outside for one minute.
