Birds! 

Whether food, hunting partner, deity, or impending death, humans and birds have been intertwined since long before recorded history. We share mutualistic, commensal, and parasitic relationships with them, and have raised the Red Jungle Fowl and its descendents for at least 7500 years. Pigeons delivered our messages as early as 1 CE, parakeets have been kept as pets since at least 200 BCE, and the caged finches and songbirds of royalty go back even farther.

Let’s learn about birds!

I’m no ornithologist, but I love birds. There’s gonna be lots about the 29 orders of Neornithes (modern birds) coming up today, so…I hope you don’t have orthinophobia?
