Bird Watching Protesters At RNC
As I was handing out trail guides at the Republican National Convention, I would mention that birding was one of the things people could do. A woman said, I just got a flier from a guy protesting bird watchers.
They showed me the flier, it read:
BIRD WATCHERS ARE VOYEURS!
According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service forty eight million people watch birds. A private research group, the Good Conduct Society, has discovered Bird Watchers are more sexually active than others.
The elderly find that Bird Watching is not strenuous. And this erotic experience can be enjoyed privately through binoculars.
"Most disturbing," said the Society's director, Anaida Krok, "are the groups of Bird Watchers seeking vicarious sexual gratification in the woods. Shamelessly, they blatantly observe God's defenseless creatures mating."
LEAVE THE BIRDS ALONE!
I later encountered the guys:
They even have a website: StopBirdPorn. I think this group is just trying to get some publicity. A for effort boys. But based on the lack of content on the site and that there are references to them at the Democratic National Convention, I think they're just trying really hard to get on The Daily Show. Can't you just hear them sitting around playing a game of Drink Uno formulating the plan:
"We should come up with some crazy plan and go the political conventions. We could be, like, crazy protestors. There are totally crazy people protesting weird stuff."
"What should we protest? Caffinated sunflower seeds?"
"No, dude, we should, like, protest something people think is harmless. Something old people love."
"Yeah, like stamp collecting!"
"Better, bird watchers!"
"Aw, dude, that's awesome! We should totally do that!"
"We should say that they are, like, sexual deviants or have more sex than anyone else, and they like to watch birds doing it too!"
"Yes! You so rock, dude, you so rock! We gotta start a website."
"You know what, this is crazy enough, I bet we could get on, like the Daily Show, man!"
"I am so in!"
Hm, I wonder if we'll see these guys at birding conventions?

I just took two pictures of a Carolina Wren; it was preening its feathers at the time. (The little tease. Sometimes you'd swear they were asking for it.) The wren was sitting outside my own kitchen window but did not, I admit, consent to be photographed. Am I likely to get in trouble, do you think? Should I skip town and make for Canada while I still can?
I saw Canada geese doin' it once. Within a few weeks there were seven cute fluffy goslings hanging around our banding station! Yay for geese getting it on!
Shouldn't this be titled "watching bird protesters at the RNC?"
I read about this a couple of days ago on the Bug Girls Blog. Crazy!!I figured it had to be a joke, but ya never know. Now that I see WHO is doing it, ahem, it all becomes clear that it IS a joke.
Oh my God - my late great-grandmother is at the RNC trying to stop bird porn!
She must be - she was the original bird mating disapprover [Disapproving Greatgrandmas] (clapping her hands and chasing away all of those "filty, disgusting" mating sparrows in the yard). This, folks, is what Victorian morality produced - nuttyness. Yep, those birds sure were pervy.....
You forgot to insert the sound made by these 2 young men as they suck on one of those wacky cigarettes.....puff puff pass.....
Daily Show has more class than to put these jolly jokers on
jac in S.P.ME
Just don't let those guys know we've been watching all that squirrel porn that has been going on in your backyard. hehehe
Couldn't agree more....either The Daily Show or The Colbert Report!
What a joke....funny if you ask me, quite tongue in cheek. If that is what they are aiming for I wish them luck. I wouldn't mind hanging out with John or Stephen for a few minutes!
BTW Sharon....nice outfit in that photo of you at the RNC....I so dig chcks in uniform! Maybe you could wear that out next time we come to town and go out for a few pints!
Hope all is well with the bunnies and say HI! to NBB for us!
I saw this on the news last night, and immediately thought of you. I was tempted to send you an email about it, but then figured, if it was about birds, you'd already know about it.
So, I was not surprised to see you blogging about it today.
Hysterical! Next thing you know we'll be labeled "tree humpers" rather than tree huggers! All that gyrating was just an itch, really!
Hmm, I did witness some hot bird action while fixing some shingles on my roof this summer. The lucky lady, I think it lasted about two seconds. You'll be happy to know there will be more house sparrows now.
BIRD WATCHERS ARE VOYEURS!
Now that is funny.
Those guys look like jerks, they probably shot birds with BB guns when they were kids.
