My grandma was an avid birder and a member of the Audubon Society for decades, and she passed on her love of birds to me.
So it’s no surprise that my dentist’s office having bird feeders outside their exam rooms made my last appointment a little less terrifying.
My hygienist navigated me through the maze of halls behind the front desk to a gray-on-gray exam room at the back of the building. And outside the nearly floor-to-ceiling window was an elevated bird feeder that looked like a yellow and green house straight out of Hansel and Gretel.
The middle of the house was a flat platform that held a large block of half-pecked birdseed.
