Fun story! I once went to Monteverde with absolutely no interest in birdwatching and in less than 24 hours I saw two birds that foreigners come to see to fulfill their dreams. Those are the Quetzal and the Bellbird.

This guy is living the absolute dream

You're videos have not been popping up on my feed. I completely forgot about you guys. Just realised so now im watching over 12 of your latest videos. Good content :')

Doesnt this kindof defeat the point of bird watching, if you're only gonna see it for 5 minutes and leave to see another one. Seems like the competition would take the fun out of it.

Didnt say it was fun for me just since its a video about bird watching the assumption is that he likes bird watching, then he just rushes through the bird watching rather than staying around to enjoy them. Wasn't having a go at him either just seemed to me like; If you enjoy something you should do it and not be caught up in it being a competition.

Zach Ross watching the most birds in a year is the fun factor of the Big Year and it would a personal achievement among bird lovers. As for enjoying the birds, in birdwatching the biggest joy is actually being able to see them as it is a challenge to do so. Birdwatching is quite hard as you have to understand their habits, habitats and not to spook them. Then once you managed to watch them, unless you want to study them (which most of the birds the guy watched have been discovered), there's not much to enjoy for long hours. Not to say that people don't enjoy watching the same bird for long hours, it can be enjoyable. But that can be done on other time.

I want to go to NZ to see the kakapo. They are an absolutely amazing species once you start to study them, they are the ONLY parrot that can't fly, they only breed every two years. They are actually quite dimwitted but very friendly, but unfortunately there's only about 24-30 left in NZ today.

I disagree but understand your position.

He says ""...when I arrived at "some country" in the middle of nowhere"". That seems to show the importance he places on the countries, people and cultures of the world, relative to birds. Maybe it was just a poor choice of words. I hate to be hyper-critical so am inclined to hope so. It was otherwise an extraordinary feat, and a good little film.

@asherhiggins2018

3 жыл бұрын

I don't think he was associating the country in question as being in the middle of nowhere, but rather mentioning how he arrived at a very remote location in an unspecified country. There are definitely birders out there who are rich idiots that know very little and care even less about birds, geography and culture, but most birders have an excellent sense of geographical importance to their birding habits.

See the bird. Feel the bird. Be the bird.

When you really love birds, isn`t this method really wrong? There are 100.000 yearly reports of birds killed by planes what is not a really high number I guess, but 140 plane flights. The Co2 emissions are really high on planes and birds in general are sensitive to climate change. And this only to SEE them.
