If you prefer nature to people, birdsong to screeching tyres and secretly want to crash the economy via mass workplace dropout due to a bird language contagion, you will go absolutely crackers for this convo.Andrew Turbill aka. THE BIRD GUY [https://andrewthebirdguy.com/] is here to share his epic and somewhat perilous birding quests for 2025, from stalking Logrunners to sidestepping fascists and recording a full blown predator attack in the sky.F****** fabulous listening for anyone under the spell of birds. Andrew's 2025 to-do list 1. find out where our local superb lyrebirds (well, at least 1 lyrebird anyway) nest and get an audio recording of the young bird begging or alarm calls 2. get a decent photo of a logrunner 3. build an elevated sit spot platform in the forest 4. spend more time in the forest socialising with songbirds and less time doom-scrolling about the callous and cruel manifestations of psychopaths, narcissists and fascists 5. record audio of a full-sequence aerial predator attack 6. keep my bird baths full 365 days of the year 7. devise a way to dissuade catbirds and fairy-wrens from mercilessly pummeling my windows at dawn throughout spring and summer 8. find someone desperate enough to make some walking-around money to enter 30 years of my naturalist seasonal field observations into a data base or excel spreadsheet so i make some effing sense of them 9. take on a bird language apprentice 10. visit my mum more oftenLINKY POOS 🧙‍♀️Robin Wall Kimmerer [https://www.robinwallkimmerer.com/]Andrew Turbill's online nest  [https://andrewthebirdguy.com/]Andrew on ABC Radio National [https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/latenightlive/bird-language/104486598]You were once a Bird Language Samurai, and can be again ~ Andrew Turbill [https://andrewthebirdguy.com/2021/09/09/you-were-once-a-bird-language-samurai-and-can-be-again/]Megalania goanna!!!
