Whenever we feel 10,000 Birds could have more writers, we ask an online AI art creation site for a suitable illustration. The result is always ugly (see example above) and the opposite of what we seek: personal experiences and thoughts related to birds and birding, not some ChatGPT-written blurb. Call it misleading advertising.
If neither that nor that we do not pay anything does not put you off, please get in touch. While writers from all locations are welcome, we are particularly looking for writers from North America, as we have many readers there yet few writers. And while we have no idea about the gender of our readers, we would like to have more female writers as well.
Kai has lived in Shanghai for 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.
