Any speech. zzzzzzzzz I'd say which one was the last one but we aren't allowed to talk about that subject.

I can sit for hours and watch bird behavior. If you would have asked me to do that 5 years ago I would have said you were crazy. So the last time was watching some blue jays approach food and eating.

My apartment complex has one.
