Just what the world needs - a "reality" TV show with "bizarre" and "crazy birders". Do we really want folks to think that all birders are crazy? That's absolutely what will happen if the only birders he portrays are "over the top" and "crazy".
Just try and get a non-birder to allow birders to come onto their properties for rare sightings after seeing THAT portrayal on TV. (Do we really want to make ourselves look crazy?) I would highly recommend that people do NOT contact this production company, unless they are willing to do a REAL "reality" show depicting birders from every walk of life and as your typical "next door neighbor", which we indeed are.
