Episode Details
Back to EpisodesThe Art of Birdwatching AKA Birding
Description
Birding can be as simple as noticing the birds in your backyard or as serious as traveling hundreds of miles to find a rare species in its natural habitat! In this episode, hosts Alexis and Avery explore what birding is, the different types of birdwatching, and the basic tools that can make the experience even more rewarding. They discuss the absolute joy of birding but also touch on the ethics of using recorded bird calls in the field. Along the way, they share their own birding stories and explain why observing wild birds can deepen our appreciation for nature, conservation, and the incredible lives of birds beyond our homes.
Don’t forget our species spotlight featuring the Kea (Nestor notabilis)!
Always Remember: Be kind to your Parrot, and it will be kind to you!
