Birdwatching 101 | WeAreTheAverage

Lesson 1: Identifying the Obvious

Step 1: Look outside. Yes, just look outside. You'll probably find a bird. They're everywhere. Even on your windowsill. Don't worry, it's not a burglar. It's just a bird. Learn to identify your local species.

Lesson 2: Don't Be a Bird-Brained Fool

Step 2: Don't try to touch or hold the birds. They have feelings too, you know. And don't even think about it. We've all seen That One Guy. Read our comprehensive guide to bird etiquette.

Lesson 3: It's Not a Competition

Step 3: Remember, birdwatching is about observing, not competing. Don't try to spot the most birds in a row. That's not what it's about. Unless you're into that sorta thing. Join our competitive birdwatching league.
