I agree. My non-birding sister asked to see two birds during our 
recent trip to Australia - a cassowary and penguins. (We saw 
lots of penguins. No cassowary though.) She also admitted that 
the lyrebirds and the stork were interesting. I'm sure she would 
have preferred to ignore most of the birds I kept stopping to 
look at though.
