What's a common occurrence in your hobby that you think shouldn't be?

For me it's driving while under the influence. If you couldn't tell, I like me some ganja. However I have long since held the belief that it is utterly insane to drive while under the influence of most substances, with maybe nicotine and caffeine being the exception. All too often I see other stoners smoking and driving, which I simply can't fathom. I've only operated a vehicle once under the influence and it was just to move a U-Haul around the block to a different parking spot, which was such a scary experience while high that I refuse to even consider getting behind the wheel again while high.

This is really interesting because I'm a very casual bird observer and occasionally try to whistle to get their attention, but I hadn't thought about this aspect of it!

Whistling is probably fine since it’s not something they’re likely to mistake for a warning call from another bird or as a song from their own species, so don’t feel bad about that! 👍

i try to mimick some bird call but yeah it's usually just to try and get their attention if I'm taking a picture. i don't play bird noises or anything else, just look at them and maybe take pictures

I just want to teach my neighbor crows to bring me shinies for really, really good seeds lmao
