    Interestingly put.

    I rarely meet a "bird watcher" who doesn't stick their nose
    up in the air when I talk about my birds (who sometimes PREFER
    to stay in their cage) and some even get this terroristic
    "right-to-life"-er type look on their face.  Scarey.  

    Birdwatching seems like more of a hobby to me so it might
    very well be better of under rec.hobbies.birds and we could
    post to rec.pets.birds.  This different groups garbage is just
    that.  Why can't there be a group called birds, one called dogs,
    one called sex, one called photography and screw the rec.'s and
    the misc.'s and the soc.'s...
