Are you keen on wild birds, bird watching, feeders, song, identification, migration, or conservation issues? Some people enjoy tourism in birding destinations. Others study bird fossils and evolution. Perhaps you're interested in pet birds, or you’re curious about famous birds in literature, mythology, film, and art.
Birds live in every habitat and hold a prominent place in human culture. On Birds.suite101.com, we’ll talk about lots of birds: hummingbirds, penguins, parrots, peacocks, cranes, and more. We’ll explore birds as companions, peace symbols, characters in stories, and icons of environment. We’ll watch them migrate and peer into their nests.
Enjoy Birds at Suite101. Read articles and blogs and join in discussions. Comment, question, or request? Email me at birds@suite101.com.
