This is so fucking relevant to me right now, just yesterday I heard a woodpecker on my walk and I made it my mission to spot it in that giant tree. Then in my later walk I saw a red cardinal. Later I was talking about how it’s kinda cheating when people pick ostrich, peacock, penguin etc as their favorite birds, and it slowly dawned on me that I’m becoming a bird guy.

I like a lot of birds, but let's be honest; the peacock really is the most beautiful bird, it's not even a close competition.

[-] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

That was my pick too and then my girlfriend penguin. In my opinion those were boring picks, so I added the stipulation of size.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Me too. I live in an area now with hawks, ravens, and I can hear a Great Horned Owl at night, but never been able to spot it. These all make me inordinately excited.

Cardinals are great, that are really pretty birds that are common enough that you can probably spot one daily in most parts of the US is you take a walk.

I wanted to figure out the call of a bird, then I downloaded Merlin, and now I bought a 400mm lens to get sick photos of birds. What the hell happened

Look, Raymond: a yellow-crested warbler.

[-] noseatbelt@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 years ago

Not excited enough. They may be common, but they're still birds.

I just put up a bird feeder, I'm doomed

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 years ago

I started with one. Now there's 4 and I designed a squirrel feeder.

[-] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Need to design a squirrel yeeter, damn things eat too much.

[-] GuitarAbuser@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 years ago

It's true. As a young boy I wanted to see tits so bad but nowadays all I need is just look out the window

[-] Muscar@discuss.online 7 points 2 years ago

Apparently I was born old.

[-] JetpackJackson@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago

Yup can confirm, it's already got me lol

[-] twig@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago

I legit can't imagine ever being indifferent to birds

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I too hate how the CIA uses them to spy on us

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Me, except I can only identify waterfowl easily. Mostly different types of ducks.

[-] Pringles@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I have you tagged as "Duck expert" based on one of your previous comments or posts, so that checks out.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Close. Ive been noticing more bluejays and cardinals around here the last couple years. Mockingbirds are always around but dont see them as much

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Maybe it's the hearing loss. I can still hear birds perfectly.

[-] thisismyhaendel@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I really got into it this year (early 30’s) and I am straight kicking my younger self, when I knew someone with 5 pet birds and I didn’t care!
