Birds are super cute, but younger people are often too focused on themselves to even see how cool they are. :)
Except of course if they can get Instagram likes for the pictures of birds, then it's interesting... :p
Yes I'm stereotyping here.... I'm aware.
My 63yo mom likes to memorize birds names in the same way 90s kids did with pokemons. I think she does it since she was a child. When we're taking a walk together she points to the birds and say their names. And I learn to much with her, I love when she does it!
I hated birds, especially "laser birds" (house wrens), but yeah they're interesting now. I also live in a great place to bird watch
This made me laugh. I'm in my early 40s and in the past six months I've been using the Merlin app to identify birds by their song. It's really fun to see what's going on around me in terms of birds. I had no interest before.
What kind have you spotted?
The craziest bird sighting I made was a pileated woodpecker. Man those things are big!
This hits a little two close to home…
Look, Raymond. A yellow crested warbler.
Actually, that's a Vexlers Northern Swamp Warbler- you can tell by the gorsach veining on the pin feathers.
The older I get the more I do know about birds ...but enjoy fucking with borders more.
More Jesse v cancer please Mr case!
