Seasoned readers of 10,000 Birds probably already know the drill: A post showing an exaggerated AI-created illustration means we are asking for new writers.

You don’t need to tell us that these illustrations are quite ugly – we know. However, for reasons not clear to us, they seem to be effective enough. At least the number of 10,000 Birds writers has increased quite a bit in 2024.

So, contact us if you are interested in joining the team – or read more about it first.

Kai Pflug has been living in Shanghai for 20 years. He only became interested in birds in China – so he is much more familiar with birds in China than with those in Germany. While he will only ever be an average birder, he aims to be a good bird photographer and has created a website with bird photos as proof. He hopes not too many clients of his consulting company read this blog, as they will doubt his dedication to providing consulting services related to China`s chemical industry. Whenever he wants to shock other birders, he tells them his (indoor) cats can distinguish several warblers by taste.
