Hmmm,
I think Hello Birdy serves an educative purpose for people who know
nothing about birds. It is certainly more informative than "reality TV"

Greetings All
Alas and alack!
Fay and I were birding Pioneer Park [central Nanango] and only just
managed to get back home for 1830 hours [6.30 pm]. While Fay put on
the kettle I switched on the television ready to watch “Hello Birdy”
-only the “idiot box” was, for some reason, tuned into Channel 10.
My thumb moved across the control panel [Fay assures me channel-
surfing is a purely male obsession] to locate ABC 1. In that moment
I noted that the screen was showing me a snow-covered mountain
scene: I have a long-standing passion with mountains – no doubt
something to do with all those Snow Buntings I failed to see in my
halcyon days. I then recognized the dulcet tones of David
Attenborough and I was hooked. Fay is one with me on the question
of “Hello BIrdy”.
To improve matters further, at 1930 hours [7.30 pm], on SBS, there
was a tiger program!
Today’s television guide informs me that Attenborough will be back
next Saturday and that the tigers will be replaced by leopards.
So its “Goodbye BIrdy”, hello effective wildlife documentaries.
Cheers
Julian
