Support the Things You Love 
Written by Jonese Franklin

This is BirdNote.

It’s on-air fundraising week for BirdNote. If you’ve already donated to support our show, thank you! If you haven’t, you can give now at BirdNote dot org.

At BirdNote, we believe that the more that people learn about birds, the more likely they are to take steps to protect them.

That’s why we make stories that are informative and educational….

Clip from Hovering is Hard Work: Ariana Remmel: Hummingbirds make hovering look effortless. They’re built for it, with flexible wrists that rotate their wings in a rapid figure-eight motion, generating almost constant lift.

As well as fun and sometimes even a little silly…

Clip from Tweety Bird episode: Michael Stein: this bright and noisy bird is particularly susceptible to predation, and so has developed a complex series of alarm calls. Listen as the bird reacts to the approach of its chief predator, the cat.

When you donate to BirdNote, you’re helping us create stories that invite people to fall in love with birds…the real ones… and hopefully take steps to protect them. Listeners like you have supported BirdNote for 20 years. Please do your part to ensure that BirdNote is here for 20 more. Donate at BirdNote dot org. And thanks.

For BirdNote, I’m Bibi Baksh-Pabion.
