125: LISTERS Review: The Funniest Birding Movie Every Birder Needs to Watch 🎬🐦

This week on Birds of a Feather Talk Together, we kick off the year with a hilarious and fun-filled conversation about LISTERS—our favorite birding movie of the year.If you love birding, birdwatching, birders, and the wonderfully obsessive world of listing bird species, this documentary is an absolute must-watch. We laughed through almost the entire episode while discussing the film, the personalities in it, and why birders everywhere will immediately relate to the passion, competitiveness, humor, and chaos that comes with chasing birds around the world.Even better, LISTERS is free to watch on YouTube, making it the perfect companion for this episode.Alongside our movie review, we also answer listener mailbag questions covering unforgettable birding stories, wildlife encounters, bird behavior, and one particularly intense conversation involving Shannon and a bot fly encounter you won’t forget anytime soon.Field Museum ornithologists and curators of birds John Bates and Shannon Hackett join RJ and Amanda Pole for a lively discussion full of bird science, birding culture, nature stories, conservation, humor, and fascinating insights into the world of birdwatching.If you love birding, birdwatching documentaries, wildlife films, bird lists, ornithology, nature podcasts, bird behavior, and entertaining bird stories, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.Here are links to our social and YouTube pages, give us a follow:YouTube InstagramTikTokBlueSky
