Episode description
This is a special episode, and the first of its kind. I answer questions from my listeners. It’s a fun, mixed bag of bird factoids.
Who were these lucky people who got to contribute to this episode? The specific listeners who submitted questions were my supporters on Patreon.
Of course, the idea is that our discussion today will be interesting and informative to all of my listeners.
This Q&A session covers things like bacterial diseases, bike helmets, lemon-scented juncos, and baby owls!
