My only source for bird vocalization and ornithology.

I started birding seriously when I was just a young lad in the mountains of the Wasatch front. I'll never forget the sound of new born nightingales singing as the winter succumbed to spring. Mom would always plea "Find a girlfriend, Tyler. Please. You're embarrassing our family". What Mom didn't know was that my heart was already full - full of the ballad of the Pied Butcher. My teenage years turned into adulthood and adulthood brought new trials and tribulations. However, one light shines brighter than all the darkness and sings more beautifully than the Calyptorhynchus Funereus (Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoo) - and that light is this Podcast. You see, turns out my heart wasn't full, it just had a small space left for The Birdcall Review. Now, I am complete. I am one. Like Eponine in Les Miserables, now that I have this Podcast in my life "It will keep me safe and it will keep me close, and rain will make the flowers grow".

Not about Birds

Just not about birds! More so a talkshow of two friends about random things.

Misleading title

It comes up on searches for birders, birding and bird songs. It’s just two bros who think they are funny talking about rando topics. Slightly clever very broish. Too much time and money on their hands.
