Talkin’ Birds has a long history of educating as well as entertaining birders by telling us more about our feathered friends. It has a formula that includes news, call in games, and humor. It’s a great way to learn as well as be amused.
The best birding podcast in my opinion.
It’s always so much fun listening to Talkin’ Birds!! There’s a cool formula to the show but one never knows what’s coming next! Great for birders of all ages and abilities to enjoy. Check it out! Jo in Ca
Talkin Birds is my absolute favorite Podcast. I never miss an episode. Both informative and humorous. I recommend this PodCast to everyone. I cannot wait for each new Podcast. I have learned so much from this show. The only reason I am giving this Podcast 5 stars is because you can’t give 6.
