I’ve been an avid birder since the age of four. My dad loved the outdoors and we would spend all day together looking at birds. He gave me my first real binoculars, on my seventh B-day, that I still have today. My Dad passed, but I continue the journey in his honor. I carry my cell and play bird songs which attract various birds, and also have an Audubon bird caller that I wear around my neck like a piece a jewelry. So I can be be ready no matter where I am. Thank you Dad, for encouraging me to explore the world and appreciate nature wherever it can be found, even if it’s in your own backyard
I really liked this make another please
Thank you for these tips!!
The Residence lead me here. You are the face I want to tell me about birding right now! Thank you for having the interest and being here to share it!
I love birding! My list is about 1200 species, which isn’t much compared to the hardcore birder lists. But I’m really happy with what I’ve seen.
Also it’s a great feeling when you go out looking for a specific species and you find it!
And even better when you get good views of its natural behavior.
The best species I’ve seen is the Lord Howe island woodhen. There are only about 200 of them left. The one I saw came right up to me and began pecking my shoe!
Because they are an island species, they are very tame and not scared of humans.
• I definitely want to start Birding 🦜🧡 My home country of Guyana has over 700 different species of birds & I hope to start exploring there 🌼🌴🦚🕊 thank you for the tips!! 🦋
Just don’t do it with any white ladies around. They’ll call the cops on you.
aw I thought this was gonna be a British comedy skit. This is unironic cringe
Thank you Sheridan!!!
This is amazing
Very Nice video! Congrats
Song visualizations!! Love them
great ideas! Thanks!
This is a good guide.
Thanks for this. It was really well done. I was searching Birding 101 (as a name not specifically this vid) as I am build a program for urban youth to take up birding in green, brown, and grey spaces with in an urban setting. Your introduction totally helped me get my thoughts in order. Thanks
I’m 17 and I should be getting wasted at parties but I’m looking into birding💀💀💀✋
Nice! Im going to download that cornell labs app right now, though i dont know if the winter is the best season to start this hobby lol
Birding is awesome
Lovely information, thanks!! I’m not a flegling 😂, but always looking for new information. New subscriber here.
Birding can be very interesting I once saw some ravens mobbing a Red Tail hawk before
More! Yes!!
For those in the UK, https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/wildlife-guides/bird-a-z/ is a great resource.
Birding is surely more of a past-time than a ‘sport’.
YAAAAASSSSSSSS
I got interested from the show Extraordinary Birder and just been doing my own thing with some binoculars I got from an estate sale so Im happy to find this video which gave me some foundational info. 🙏🏽Thanks for sharing
Cool 🤙
I love how birding is as old as humanity.
It’s so relaxing!
There isn’t anything wrong with old school. A family friend just bought me a 2nd edition Peterson field guide for western birds from 1990. The book is older than me but luckily the life list hasn’t been marked in at all and I intend on using it. The illustrations are great and the feel of the book makes birding feel that much more authentic. However, I do find that apps can be useful. Ultimately, to each their own but I know I love just going outside and being with the birds. Great video!
mantap kaka
I asked the kids if they wanted to go watch some birds. They asked me if they were in trouble for something. 🤣
Nature presents: birding somehow gets prostituted worse than it already is.
Love this
Loved these tips! Just started birding in the Southwest 🌵😊
