Talkin' Birds

Nature #32

Ray Brown's Talkin' Birds is a call-in show of entertaining conversation about wild birds -- attracting them to your back yard, identifying them, feeding them, and learning more about them along the way. Every week, we have contests for prizes like bird feeders and other great bird-related stuff, along with expert guests. So, whether you're an experienced birder, or you're new to birding, listen in, and be part of the show by calling in with a question, sharing some information or observations, or trying for one of our prizes. It's birdwatching--in the backyard and beyond.

Great Podcast for Birders!

Talkin’ Birds has a long history of educating as well as entertaining birders by telling us more about our feathered friends. It has a formula that includes news, call in games, and humor. It’s a great way to learn as well as be amused.

I absolutely LOVE this Podcast.

Talkin Birds is my absolute favorite Podcast. I never miss an episode. Both informative and humorous. I recommend this PodCast to everyone. I cannot wait for each new Podcast. I have learned so much from this show. The only reason I am giving this Podcast 5 stars is because you can’t give 6. Jim Curley Ironton Ohio

Entertaining, Informative

What’s not to love about a podcast that is enjoyable, provides great info to anyone at any bird-watching level, and packs a lot into 30 minutes or so? Lively and engaging, this is a great one for the car, or when doing house/yard work!

Perfect for all kinds of birders

I don’t consider myself a serious birder. I can’t identify birds by eye or ear but I love to watch and listen anyway. This is my favorite birding podcast because it is funny and educational and brings together many different viewpoints and many different ways of birding.

Lots of fun and informative too!

I really like the guests and the chats Ray has with everyone. The mystery bird contest helps me test my ability to identify birds. Loads of fun!

Essential Birding Podcast

The perfect blend of humor and birding knowledge. Great for beginners, like myself, particularly if you take some time with the back catalogue.

Interesting & Sweet Podcast

Having only been a birder for a few years, I find the podcast full of interesting tidbits of info. Ray Brown has a good voice for a podcast. I enjoy the scientific information that is peppered throughout the show. Keep up the great work!

Enjoyable and informative

I've been listening religiously for the past few months and, as a beginning birder, it deserves much credit for feeding my interest in and appreciation of birds and nature. Favorite segments include the wood thrush song slowed down and dissected, the updates on the whooping cranes, reports on new research (e.g., the cat collar that substantially reduces bird mortality rates), and the always-delightful segments with the affable Mike O'Connor.

30 minutes of Delight!

If you are interested in birds, nature, conservation, travel, and learning do yourself a favor and subscribe to this podcast! It's like spending time with your favorite Uncle, if that uncle was as sharp, witty, and kind as Ray Brown.

Talkin Birds

I am a new listener to the "Talkin Birds" podcasts. I enjoy every aspect of the show, even the commercials. I tried Birds and Beans coffee. It tastes great and grown sustainably. More importantly, I learn something from each show.

Great Show!

I would have thought that a podcast about bird watching would be dry. But this show is so much fun! I'm always waiting for the next weeks show!

Thoroughly enjoyable program

I look forward to every episode. Full of information, fun, laughter, contests and the latest news from the bird world. A must for all birders! Thank you very much for this wonderful show.

What a great show!

Can't decide which feature of the show I like better, the studio audience "applause" when a caller guesses the mystery bird correctly or the ask Mike segment! Even if you have only a mild interest in birdwatching, this show is always interesting!
