Boomers in England are Blue!

Since I'm obsessed with the phenomenon of Baby Boomers reinventing their lives, I want to get all the news I can about what the Boomers are up to. What are the latest trends and who is doing something really cool at this time of life?

So I've signed up with the Google news service. Every day, my inbox fills with a link to two or three items from around the world...press clippings and opinion pieces about Baby Boomers and their issues. The topics range from Social Security to Viagra to Habitat for Humanity. But today, one headline caught my eye, dateline Cambridge, England:

"Blue Tits are Baby Boomers"

I've heard of "blue hairs" but I didn't think the Boomers were quite there yet! But blue tits?

Well, it turns out that blue tits are birds...and "Britain's blue tits are experiencing a baby boom this year, leading to a housing crisis for their population." People are being urged to get out their power saws and build some "nestboxes" right away!

This seems like a great volunteer opportunity for the human Baby Boomers of England. Civic engagement for the birds!
