10,000 Birds
NOVEMBER 17, 2023
Call me old fashioned if you like, but I rather like many of these old names, as they put a bit of colour and interest into birding, especially if you bother to investigate who exactly the birds are named after. They didn’t, of course, have the luxury of the fantastic modern optics we take for granted today.

That could be you!

And of course, there are Cattle Egrets ( Bubulcus ibis ) and several species of cowbirds that rarely stray too far from livestock. Of course, at Birds and Booze we advise limiting one’s ingestion of “Bobolinks” to this excellent saison. For most of history, beer has thrived in agrarian settings, too.

In a manner that’s Malcolm Gladwell meets Freakonomics, which is the fascinating part, Herzog investigates our beliefs and actions regarding nonhuman animals (anthrozoology). Well, as it turns out neither a trip to a slaughterhouse nor killing an animal yourself is powerful enough to make people go vegan. All day long.
