We all know that there is a huge market for motivational posters aimed at birds – urging them to embrace their spirit, freedom, resilience, and so on.
But what about the birds that are tired of these messages? Birds that have long realized that they will never fulfill their dreams, never soar above all the others? Birds that have given up?
Must their office walls remain tragically bare? We think not.
So, we’ve created a new line of demotivational posters, designed especially for them. Here are the first four.
Kai has lived in Shanghai for more than 21 years. He only started birding after moving to China, so he is far more familiar with Chinese birds than the ones back in his native Germany. As a birder, he considers himself strictly average and tries to make up for it with photography, which he shares on a separate website. Alas, most of the photos are pretty average as well.He hopes that few clients of his consulting firm—focused on China’s chemical industry—ever find this blog, as it might raise questions about his professional priorities. Much of his time is spent either editing posts for 10,000 Birds or cleaning the litter boxes of his numerous indoor cats. He occasionally considers writing a piece comparing the two activities.
If this post leads to people removing those posters from office walls around the world than I will be a happy man.
Thanks. Makes it worth having written that post.
