Bored Pandagot in touch with Audubon Master Birder Alison Kondler and she was kind enough to answer some questions for us. Eagle eyed readers will have already noticed the presence of the term Audubon, so Alison helped explain what this title actually means as well as shared her journey with birding.

“This book was paramount in my continued study of sounds and how to replicate them. At the age of eighteen, I began to become a stand-up comedian, incorporating these sounds onto the stage for over 5 years. I also acted in movies, television, theater, and improv comedy, often incorporating the sounds into my auditions to “stand out”. I felt something was missing and my love for nature and all things outdoors began calling me. I returned back to my roots and became a volunteer naturalist for Colorado Parks and Wildlife,” she shared.

Given her expertise on the topic, we naturally wanted to learn a bit more. Unlike common housepets, most people have only a tangential knowledge of bird behavior, so we wanted to hear Alison’s thoughts on common misconceptions. “When you say ‘bird behavior,’ one bird that comes to mind is the Northern flicker. The behavior of this particular bird is the Audubon Society’s number one inquiry in the springtime: ‘How do I stop woodpeckers from pecking holes in my house?’ To answer this, let’s start with the misconceptions about these misunderstood birds and their inherent need to peck. At the beginning of spring, you may have heard fast drilling sounds that start and stop abruptly coming from various places in your home, often occurring right before sunrise in the early hours of the morning.”

“If you see damage that looks like perfectly round holes on the side of your house, then this is a different story. They are trying to find a suitable place to create a cavity and raise young. When they drill through your siding, they may hit a wall backing that they cannot penetrate, so they move over and start drilling a new one. If this occurs, there are a few ways to stop them, which is best done right when the damage has started. Don’t wait. My number one suggestion is to go out and buy or build your own nest box with specs made for Northern Flickers and mount it over the patched hole. Be sure to add non-aromatic wood shavings to the bottom so they can start “excavating” the cavity. This gives them a sense of accomplishment and makes them less likely to create more holes in other parts of your home.”

Last, but not least, we wanted to explore her thoughts on bird memes, as opposed to the more classic “cat meme.” “Birding content on social media is gaining traction similar to cat and dog content because it provides people with moments of happiness and positivity, giving viewers a much-needed break from the overwhelming negativity that can be shown on social platforms. Birds are fascinating because they’re found almost everywhere around the globe, and watching them can instantly connect us to nature and put us in a more natural state of mind, even in a big city.”

“As a birding content creator, I purposely add calming elements, high-quality bird videos, and educational content to my videos that are easy to understand for all birding levels, with the goal of making social media a happier place. I would guess the dog and cat creators are posting their content for the same reason. It is incredibly fulfilling to provide millions of people with peace and tranquility, giving them a moment to rest in between the never-ending scrolling,” she shared.
