OK, kids, it’s time to polish those bins and put on your Sunday best convertible pants!
A national cable network is looking for birders to appear on a new television series about birding. If you are an avid birder – bordering on obsessive – we want you. You do not need to have a degree in ornithology or a book coming out (although if you do, we want to hear from you). Please send your contact information, a short description of your birding experience (where you bird for instance) and a photo (if you have one) to natgeocasting@gmail.com. (Please put “Bird” in the subject line.)
Send it now. Because, after all, the early bird… well, you know the rest.
I personally hope that this morphs into an Amazing Race style show with Kenn Kaufman, David Allen Sibley, Richard Crossley and Lillian Stokes all sharing the same vehicle. But this is probably what we’ll get:
I hope your (non-Tilley) hat is going in the ring to represent the cooler/younger/fresher parts of the birding massive?
As per instructions that I think I understood I will send E-mail to Natgeocasting@gmail.com I am a birder that you will not believe. I’ve not been birding for many years. I began after retiring as human resource director from a company of about 400 employees. See E-mail that I will send shortly.
How about Wes Craven..that would be cool.
Is this real, or just a genius ploy to get hilarious emails sent to an account you made up?
Whoa! Tilly hats and Bling, now that is a show even I would tune into. Maybe I should throw my “grills”…er I mean hat into the ring.
Throw is what I said, throw. Dagnamit!!!
Ann & everyone else, please don’t put your audition emails here in the comments. I’m just the messenger, not the casting director. They just asked if I would post the info in my blog.
And Drew…I wish I had thought of it as a hilarious prank to see everyone’s auditions. I’ve had some people send me messages asking if this if for real given the gmail address. This is a legit tv show. I googled the name of the man who sent me the email and this is what he does for a living.
Not that I am going to send in anything ridiculous to catch their attention…
I would like to be in your show.
Do you think they would be interested in a Scotsmans views, I can wear my kilt?! Can’t play bagpipes tho
I know I would be!
Brian, You should totally apply.
