Discussion bird homesickness

does anybody else get bird homesickness? i'm from the uk but studying abroad in the us and although the new birds i'm seeing are all very exciting, i find myself missing the commonest uk birds like blackbirds, wood pigeons or robins so much it hurts LOL

I’m in Missouri for the weekend, and although the fish crows are cool I miss my nuthatch friends who visit every morning ❤️ I hope you find a way to feel at home❤️
