It’s a great feeling after days of watching nothing but black-capped chickadees hit your brand new bird feeder and suddenly you see a bright flash of red and your first cardinal stops in for a bite to eat.
You want to share it, of course, but who with?
Where do you find other bird enthusiasts that are as excited as you about bird watching?
One of the best features of BirdForum is how large the community is.
There is a thread for just about every subject you can think of when it comes to bird watching.
What Makes BirdForum Exceptional?
To start off with, it’s not a bland forum.
You’ll often find that when you jump on an online forum, it’s very confusing trying to find where to go when you want to focus on a particular subject.
The threads are informative too.
In many forums, you’ll find that the last user comment becomes the label for that thread, so instead of knowing what this particular thread is about, all you know is a portion of someone’s random comment.
BirdForum labels each thread and the comments are within after you click on the link to that thread.
Each subject is also informative, telling you exactly how many threads are found within that particular topic and how many comments there are so far.
Forums
The Forums are pretty self-explanatory and much of that was discussed above.
Gallery
The Gallery is full of pictures posted by users and members of the forum.
It’s where you go to share your bird sightings and discuss them with other users and members.
For Example: It’s not just a gallery for photography either. You can submit your bird art here as well.
Reviews
The Reviews section is great for those who want to find out more about the tools of bird watching, with binoculars, bird feeders, seeds, and much more.
Real users share their personal reviews amongst the other visitors to the site and they’re free to talk them over.
Opus
Each bird has a complete definition and breakdown and the user/member community can access and add to each bird’s Opus as much as they want.
Blogs
The Blog section is full of informative articles on birds and wildlife.
Members
Fortunately, membership is free and you can sign up any time in order to take part in Member’s area discussions.
When you sign up as a member, you can also subscribe to the BirdForum email and newsletters so you can keep up with all of the latest when you’re not actively on the forum.
In other words, BirdForum has something for every bird watcher and bird enthusiast out there.
All Things Considered
There’s so much to like here and a veritable fountain of information.
The best part is the sheer level of participation and conversations that you can engage in.
There’s quite literally a subject for every thread and a thread for every subject.
