Yes, we birders can be a zealous lot. But I'm glad you liked the movie and it didn't scare you off.
Now all you need is a nice pair of binoculars...

Seems birds are racists too... otherwise they would find another place to crap...

And a good book.
On another note, how can I keep the pigeons off my balcony?
They seem fearless and will huddle and crap all over the place.

Afraid I can't help you on that score. I live in a fairly remote desert wilderness and never see pigeons.
Maybe get a cat...?

Not necessarily, especially when they are different habitats. Many species are very “picky” about where they forage/breed/migrate.
I am a birder but have to chuckle at this. Many birders lamented the end of Obama’s presidency. One big name called him the greatest President of their lifetime. I’m sure this will do nothing to change his tune.

Wow, what a clever writer! I'm so impressed. They must teach that sort of writing in journalism school. /s

To: Flycatcher
I was thinking that maybe I should embrace these flying rats.
You know, for when the SHTF.
But how in the world can you get a frickin wild bird to carry a message to the destination that you want?
I’m really at a loss with this.
Any insight would be most appreciated.

You’re brilliant.
Well played.
How do we get the willfully ignorant, the violent and passionate useful idiots to even want to seek the truth.?
Can we even change their worldview?
Are they just lost, do we really need them them to re-establish the morality of our Constitution ?
What will be the force that these retarded progressives will acquiesce to?
They are fighting to deny their own existence and somehow our media and government institutions think this is normal.
The normalization of insanity.
God help us all.
