(1) Fuck this, I hope she& #39;s charged w/ harassment
(2) Birding is for everyone. If anyone is wondering how to start birding in the city, here was/is my method (NE United States, your birds may vary slightly.)
There’s only 7 birds, and I promise you already know like 4-5 of them: https://twitter.com/NicoSGonzalez/status/1265048074759462912">https://twitter.com/NicoSGonz...

Pigeon (it& #39;s a pigeon)
Sparrow (if it& #39;s brown/tan and smaller than a sandwich, assume sparrow)
Start paying attention to birds you see. It’s going to be like 80 percent sparrows, pigeons, and seagulls probably. Now you know 80 percent of the birds, nice job!!!
Now here are some birds you basically/probably already know what they look like:
Now here are some birds you basically/probably already know what they look like:
A big black bird: (Crow, bigger than a pigeon. They were rare on the east coast after West Nile virus but they are coming back!!)
That& #39;s 6 birds, and you can have a lot of fun spotting them. I love watching sparrows, they are brave and charming. Pigeons show each other dance moves. If you& #39;re watching out for the sparrows etc., eventually, one is red, blue, or big&black.
Bird 7 is key to the method:

Here& #39;s Bird 7.
Bird 7 is a Starling. Or it& #39;s a grackle, and most importantly, we are not going to worry about it. Probably one of them is more common right where you are. They are smaller than crows, and although they look black they are shiny close up! They make silly noises, and I love them.
Assuming you are still having fun with this, you& #39;re now minding your own business, and noticing birds when you walk outside or look out your window. It& #39;s mostly 2-3 kinds, & the rarer ones are a treat!
You may or may not eventually say to yourself, & #39;that grackle looks weird& #39;.
