It’s actually really weird that birds are cool as fuck but somehow most people ignore them until they are over 35. I don’t know why that is, but it’s a pretty common pattern, outside of ornithologists.
Nice. Sounds like me, only 10 years ahead of schedule :)
Merlin is really great. It works very well in several countries I’ve tried it in. Only complaint is that in Africa, the sound id is almost non-existent
Your body is slowly failing
You’re income limited
Your mobility is slowly declining
Your stomach is starting to limit your diet
You need a hobby with pretty low upkeep and super high availability.
Honestly I always loved looking at birds but in the city it started seeming like there were just so much less of them…
We started putting some bird seed out back, and I didn’t know so many were even in our neighborhood! It’s brought me a lot of happiness to see them all gathering around.
Especially the little sparrows and mourning doves. :)
I hated birds until I was like 30, and now I’m all like HELLO LITTLE FRIEND WOULD YOU LIKE SOME SEEDS OR HOW ABOUT EGGS I READ THAT YOU LIKE THAT I CAN HOOK YOU UP
Haha, Yeah I kinda hated birds too, tbh. Mainly because they would sometimes wake me up early, especially if camping. I’ve learned the error of my ways though!

I’m approaching 30 but I started using Merlin a few years ago and have evolved into a casual bird nerd since.
Merlin was my gateway. Haven’t been able to stop noticing birds since. I just hear there calls man… always singing, always calling. Always calling

The math behind old person hobbies is easy.

Also, masturbation becomes just work.

… I’m in my 30’s so, damn. 😆
Ive always been really into birds and trying to identify them, but I’ve always had old people hobbies lol
I feel singled out. Or grouped up!
