We interrupt your normal podcast to bring you a special announcement. Bird of the Week is changing how it is delivered. Too many people want birds and we've outgrown our old email server. The Weekly Bird is switching to a new provider, but sadly such services don't come cheap.

To help cover some costs Bird of the Week now has a patreon page. If you love your weekly bird and would like to help us so we don't accidentally bankrupt ourselves sending whimsical bird emails, they click on over. I would be forever grateful, and as a special thank you, you will also get access to a special patreon only second podcast -- What's Up With That Bird's Name. Each episode will look at a bird and ask the question how did it end up with the name it has. We'll learn some Latin, some natural history, and discover that many birds are very poorly named. A free taste of the show on the Australia Magpie follows this special announcement.

And hey, I get it, signing up for an ongoing contribution may not be everyone's thing, so if you'd like to say a one off thank you for the birds, that would be swell too, and I have set up a Ko-Fi page as well.

Thanks for listening, thanks for reading, and thanks for sharing. I really do appreciate it.
