James mayle just sayy u like? Tell me what you wait for breakfast. I'll check your levels. So when did james become a card carrying ornithologist versus a birdthirsty fan boy? Since, i believe the summer of two thousand one is when i started getting paid to conduct research on birds. And he's so passionate and knowledgeable about birds, i could have filled up three episodes just answering your questions. But we chatted for a bit and i asked all i could. And i feel a kinship with birds that makes me want a wink at them and say, he man, were n please enjoy.
Birds! Horned screamers! Winged pirates! Professional bird-person and all around cool dude James Maley joins Alie to talk about bird mating, monogamy, the cult of ornithology, absurd birds, parrots that are smarter than your friends' kids, a surprising fact about owl ears and history's most tragically zealous bird nerds. If you love birds, you'll be at home. If a bird did you dirty, you'll open your heart and learn to love again.
