agree with what everyone else has said here. worry less about "should" and go find your tribe wherever it may be.
as i once said to a friend who contemplated the same kind of move years ago, if it doesn't work out you can always move back. not like it's a one way street.
so true. we also have a bird bath and on days where i get busy with work calls & forget to top it off, i'm gutted to see the birdies standing around looking for a drink only to be disappointed.
gotta fixture out goes to automate topping it off without flooding the rest of the yard
