❿ Happiness is Birdseed and Acorns?! A Canadian Study made news
this week that seems to suggest that people in cities are happier when
there is a variety of birds and trees around. More birds and trees =
better mental health outcomes *paraphrase. In other words, (go with me
here) we should be going to the park dressed in my new invention, the
Bird Seed Vest! Enjoy the trees around you while the birds flock towards
you bringing joy and better mental health outcomes! Just what the
doctor ordered! (*no doctors have ordered this.) Remember the name, the
What a Weird Week brand Birdseed Vest of Mental Well-being! Free to
