What Happens When Someone Gets a Bird Feeder

Your first bird feeder seems like a nice gift, but it can lead to some lifestyle changes. Suddenly, you are obsessed with the birds that actually come visit. You're taking pictures of them, identifying them, studying their favorite foods, and that leads to a serious obsession. There's nothing wrong with birdwatching, and I'm sure the birds appreciate the food. But you may start to seem a little odd to the neighbors and any friends that visit. 

Comedian Matt Lyons noticed this in his own neighborhood. He knows about as much about birds as you or I do- notice that the bird feeder in this video is empty, and no serious backyard birder would let that happen except to give it a good cleaning. You can also tell by the names of the birds, like the eastern bilirobin and the benihana boobies. He's glad to share knowledge with you, because it's all about that symbiotomy in the phylum, whatever that means. -via Laughing Squid
