Welcome to The Thing With Feathers! This preview covers the story behind the show, how birds can unite us, Badly Drawn Birds, #ABirdFromTheLord, why Twitter is the best birding social media, and why Courtney is constitutionally unable to replace the toilet paper roll. 


The Thing with Feathers is birds, birding, and hope with an obsessive newbie birder and a wide range of experts and special guests.
