We're back! After welcoming our own little baby birds into the world, we wanted to share our favorite bird moms for our first episode of 2021. Yes, this episode is coming out after Mother's Day, but we were able to record it on Mother's Day so it feels relevant still. Some of these bird moms are admirable mentors and others make...questionable parenting decisions. Plus, we share some recent "Birds in the News" (because it turns out you miss a LOT of news when you take 9 months off of recording a podcast).  BIRD SHIT WE DISCUSSED** Support the show! ** BIRDS WE MENTION (in order)California CondorHawfinchBramblingEuropean Turtle DoveLeast TernShoebill StorkLaysan AlbatrossBIRDS IN THE NEWSCalifornia Condors Throw House Party While Owner is Away Italians Feast on Illegally-Hunted, Endangered SongbirdSupport the show (https://ko-fi.com/birdshitpodcast)
