It's actually really weird that birds are cool as fuck but somehow most people ignore them until they are over 35. I don't know why that is, but it's a pretty common pattern, outside of ornithologists.

    Honestly I always loved looking at birds but in the city it started seeming like there were just so much less of them...

    We started putting some bird seed out back, and I didn't know so many were even in our neighborhood! It's brought me a lot of happiness to see them all gathering around.

    Especially the little sparrows and mourning doves. :)

    ... I'm in my 30's so, damn. 😆

    I'm approaching 30 but I started using Merlin a few years ago and have evolved into a casual bird nerd since.

    Nice. Sounds like me, only 10 years ahead of schedule :)

    Merlin is really great. It works very well in several countries I've tried it in. Only complaint is that in Africa, the sound id is almost non-existent

    I feel singled out. Or grouped up!

    The math behind old person hobbies is easy.

    Your body is slowly failing
    You're income limited
    Your mobility is slowly declining
    Your stomach is starting to limit your diet
    You need a hobby with pretty low upkeep and super high availability.
