We are still looking to add writers (not waiters – never trust ChatGPT to create exactly the illustration you ask for) who want to share their passion for birds. You can either write a guest post on a topic of your choosing or contribute to one of our series:

  • Ask or answer a question about birds (“Ask a Birder”)
  • Share information about an interesting species (“Species Spotlight”)
  • Show some bird photos (“Three Photos”)
  • Prepare a birding-related list (“Birder’s Lists”)

Or you can recommend a bird guide or birding lodge for our respective series …

For more details, please contact us!

Written by Kai Pflug
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.
