You’re not alone. Even the Birds are resorting to desperate measures.
I asked Mrs Fox that question Bretrick, and she said “I guess I was just lucky”
It seems like you both got lucky.
Yep, I love her really Bretrick, and I couldn’t live without her now…
I did a lot of research.
You couldn’t say she was the girl next door.
The girl next door was never my cup of tea.
Maybe it’s just looking for a competent nest builder for hire.
That is a possibility. Never thought of that.
Specifying your question, I understand that we aren’t talking about a(ny) partner but about the partner, aka Mr or Ms Right. It wasn’t hard to find a partner and it wasn’t hard to find the partner that you thought you could go through life together with. I wasn’t actively looking for anyone for a long time and didn’t get desperate. I just knew there’d be ample opportunities. And then it happened rather quickly and I couldn’t resist her.
