We have pigeons and “other birds.” I’ve never really been a birder. But the “other birds” aren’t showing up yet.
I can recognize a robin, but I don’t see many here. And I learned about purple martins when I tried to attract some to help out with mosquitos. It worked while I lived there.
I don’t think I’ve seen pigeons here. Vegas has a REAL problem with them, but to me, they’re in the same class as seagulls — Flying Rats.
I grew up in the country, so just naturally learned about wildlife. Birds are an essential part of that. So yeah, I like to watch them.
