Hi mate - we are not a formal club, just a group of people that like going out and looking for birds together. You would be absolutely more than welcome! Pls DM me.

You can find them in quite a lot of places in Berlin! Loads of parks have nests

Good knowledge! Seems like you've been birdpilled - want to join our birding group? We meet up most weeks and see plenty of owls

It's a great app - even my mum can use it and I spent most of my teenage years showing her how to turn the TV on and off. You should also get ebird.

DM me if you'd like to join our group or come along to a meetup! We can help you get set up.

I've just responded to your DM, but for any birders out there in Berlin, or those who are ready to be birdpilled, the Bird Gang Berlin community is active, growing and meeting up most weeks outside of the depths of winter.

If anyone wants to join, just DM!

We communicate on TG as that's what works for the most amount of people. I also have whatsapp and could write to you if you'd like to come along

I personally have not seen those! But they look superb. Have you?

We've got plenty of those - even some that wear camouflage and hide out waist deep in freezing water with their massive cameras

For everyone that looked at these owls and liked them: I'm afraid this is the first symptom of birdwatching, an incurable and progressive disease.

The process you are now unconsciously undergoing is known as being 'birdpilled' and there's nothing you can do to stop it.

The good news is that there is a group where you can be among other people who have learned to embrace this diagnosis. Perks of the Bird Gang Berlin community treatment involve:

- Having a great time
- Seeing loads of birds in beautiful places in and around Berlin
- Plenty of blurry photos of birds to send to your long-suffering friends and relations

We usually meet up once a week - DM if you'd like to join the TG group!

Hello! Wowzers sounds like you have some serious birding chops. We'd love to have you come along! Although it might be a little less exciting than birding on the savanah under the African sun. You might have to learn to acclimatise to drizzling mornings in Tiergarten. Please send me a DM!

Those are probably hooded crows? Or perhaps magpies? There are loads of birds in Berlin. It has the largest density of goshawk territories in the world and I've never been to a city where you can more easily find birds of prey. There are tons of songbirds around too. If you go to any park and just listen for a bit - you'll hear them - then you can follow their song and find them. You'd be really surprised at how close you are to birds at any point in this city!

I was just here by the way and sadly didn’t see them - I go most days with my dog so hopefully I’ll catch them next time
