Lesley the Bird Nerd has Retired from YT Bird Nerding

[SorellaLaBefana]

We’ve followed her for years. Learned ever so much. Have marveled at her ability to hold herself and her cameras so steady when hand feeding wild birds in even terrible Canadian winter weather.

One of the many (perhaps most immediately important thing) we learned from her is of the danger to birds of feeding them bread. Few people have NOT done this, even fewer know of the damage it can cause.

Lesley doesn’t mention this at all, but the same issues with bread which cause problems for birds can also cause problems for humans if we eat too much of it https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/295235

She has made so many videos over the years. Some of them heartrending, many wonderfully inspirational. She has been a light for the world.

Here are a couple of topical videos which discuss the problems birds face in the dark of Winter, and how one can best help them to make it through to the light of Spring.

Lesley is apparently a very private person. I've learned a fair bit about her; however, since she has chosen not to share, nor will I. Will just say she’s a Newfie, living on the west coast of that beautiful island and someone who has touched so many people around this old world.

She has a webstore, which has some nice merch and which offers a way to give back to her

Tempus fugit, and, as the Buddha taught: “All things which are of the nature to have a beginning are of the nature to have an ending”

Thank you Lesley
