“Just love to listen to this combination of a fun guy taking his time to deep dive into a specific topic. I learn a lot and if you like birds, time flies as you listen. If anything I would want even longer, even deeper dives. Its really a great poscast!”

“There are a ton of podcasts about birding as a hobby, many of which are quite excellent, but not as many focused on the actual science of ornithology. Ivan wonderfully fills that void with this informative but welcoming and accessible podcast. A must-listen for all bird lovers!”

“I’m starting at the beginning to glean everything I can from this podcast. Every episode is packed with information about birds that connects the listener to their habits, beauty, history and importance in their ecosystems. As a casual observer of backyard dinosaurs I’m grateful for the...”Read full review »

“Great show! The host’s voice is so calming and the writing is both informative and funny. Can you do any shows on peacocks, hornbills or secretary birds? Polar desert birds? I just found out there are polar deserts talking to you Podcast with my bf.”

“I mean who doesn’t like a few movie clip metaphors from Star Wars mixed with their bird science. This is an absolutely entertaining approach to the science of birds that includes ecological relationships with plants posed in a language we can all understand.”

“This is exactly what my ten year old wanted. She loves birds and was frustrated at the lack of detail behind bird science for her own age group. This podcast is just perfect, fun and yet detailed.”

“This podcast is the best: well researched, easy to understand for those of us who aren’t biologists, funny and entertaining. It’s relaxing to listen to but also makes you think deeply about the natural world (not just birds). I’ve recommended it to everyone I know, and even non-bird-nerds have...”Read full review »

“My husband and I are new birders. I often listen to this informative podcast. Regarding renaming common birds, I am all for it. Names that are descriptive will be helpful. I think it will also bring more citizens into conservation efforts.”

“I like the way the host has found the right balance between having organised prose but not sounding like he is reading from a sheet. I am in the UK so I am glad that a lot of the content is applicable to birds worldwide rather than just America.”

“I have tried many podcasts about birds, but this one is my favorite. Perhaps it’s due to the podcaster’s passion for birds or maybe it’s because of his corny bird jokes and bird puns.”
