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!
That is exactly me with plants over the pandemic. Natives are cool as shit.
Oooh love native plants.
Plane watching is basically birdwatching for nerds.
I’m close to YUL and often check flightradar24 ☺️
I recently found out that a monthly pass on my city’s transit system, which I have, is exempt from the extra charge when going to the airport (YVR), so hell yeah I’m taking advantage of that! They have two really cool observation areas outside security where you can see the gates and runway.
I live under SFO and wrote an Alexa app where I can ask what plane that is, and it tells me the plane and where it came from
Can I have it?
No
Pretty much
This is me.
I love watching the crested pigeons and turtle doves, and trying to understand their culture.
Sometimes when you look at pigeons they look back
I saw a white one yesterday.
Don’t stare at their beady little eyes
How dare they! I gave grain to their fucking mothers!
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.
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.
So Lemmy believes in birds?
I can’t believe they fell for it. Birds are not real.
Sorry Jesse Case, I think I must have been born old. I’ve always noticed birds, if I see or hear a species I can’t recognise, especially if near where I live, I must id it to restore my inner peace. I’m yet to see this change as I age
You can rest assured that they’ve been watching you for your entire life.
The neighbours hand raised this abandoned baby starling a few years ago, so it had decided everyone in the neighbourhood was his best friend too, and used to visit me, sit on top of my head and sing, demand bugs and berries, and tease our dog. It got so I could pick its voice out in the tree, and would come and sit on the kitchen window and yell at us to come outside.
Hello fellow big featherless birds!
You see ONE cool bird and you jump off the edge.

I like to watch them how they build their nest.
Putting this on my list of whitest sentences of all time
What, are we race-gating birdwatching now?
