Hey! So, I just discovered your account and I LOVE it!! I want to learn more about birds as they seem so interesting, which bird should I first learn about?
this is a wonderful question! there's a few different places to start.
for me, my favorite birds & the first ones i learned about were the ones local to me! this obviously depends on where you live haha. a good place to start would be googling which birds live in your country/state/region/county/etc.
there is an app called merlin from the cornell lab of ornithology that's REALLY useful for figuring out what birds are near you. if you see or hear a bird you don't recognize, you can record its call or take a picture of it, and the app tells you what it is. :) i'm plugging it here because i recently downloaded it and i LOVE it haha.
i love using wikipedia to read about birds :) there are also blogs like @todaysbird that post pictures & fun facts about birds!
i think the most important thing is, if you see or hear about a bird you think is funny or cool or cute, look it up! there's bound to be something interesting about every animal you hear about, no matter how common it is.
i'll finish up by linking a few articles on birds that i thought were really interesting, since people might appreciate it:
scientists taught pet parrots to video call each other—and the birds loved it
wikipedia page on alex the parrot, a pet african grey parrot who was the subject of a study on how parrots copy words & sentences from their owners
juvenile bird accidentally breaks record for longest non-stop flight on its first attempt
if anybody has any articles, resources, blogs, etc. that they'd like to share, feel free to do so! i'd love to see what people have to share.
