Birds display confidence, grace, and social finesse as if the world were watching and taking notes — not because it matters, but because admitting how little any of it changes would require effort. This set of posters is for them.
There has been the occasional mild interest in products based on this series – posters, screensavers, coffee mugs, T-Shirts … Should you share this interest, please let me know in the comments or at kai.pflug@gmail.com; I might set something up.
Kai has lived in Shanghai for 22 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.
I’ve been a lurker here for some time. I don’t comment because it would show my complete ignorance of the subject. I just like birds…
I especially enjoy these demotivational posters and have shared them.
Please, keep them coming.
