Bird Enthusiast & Natural History Writer

I'm a lifelong bird watcher and amateur naturalist with a passion for clearing up the everyday confusion around animal classification. For the past fifteen years, I've been documenting backyard species and diving into ornithology books—not as credentials, but as genuine curiosity. I grew up fascinated by those "is it a bird or not" questions (and still laugh at how many people mistake bats for birds). My two rescue parrots, Mango and Pepper, keep me honest about what birds actually are. I write to make avian biology accessible and fun, settling the internet debates one clear explanation at a time.
