Michael,
When one gets compulsive enough as a twitcher "want" goes out the window. It's definitely a "need". 
 
Needs are defined as "those things without which we cannot survive".  New birds definitely fit this category. They, to a twitcher, are not just 'wants", they are essential, just as food and sex are to some other types of people - you know, like Lorne.
Conservation, management and research are all very well, but it's a matter of one's perspective and  priorities, after all, what is there to life without a new bird to pursue ?
 
I'm Anton, you know it makes sense.
