This has been hashed over a hundred times before.  This is a bird
WATCHING newsgroup, not a bird owning newsgroup.  However, you are
correct in that this is not one of the more active groups.  So the
general consensus was, "If it's not about birding, indicate that in
the header".  That's all.

Then maybe we could tolerate you silly indoor types... :-) :-)
