abgwadsEnjoyable Bird ContentThe Science of Birds is THE BEST podcast Iāve come across that not only is educational information about the birds we love but also, entertaining and funny! Ivan is a great host and his deep dives into specific species are thoroughly researched and informative. Ivan takes a great deal of time to craft every single episode and it shows! Thanks so much Ivan!

andrea_cMy Fave Bird Nerd ShowIvan makes this show fun and so interesting. He is insightful and genuinely cares for the species he talks about. I appreciate that the most - he is a bird nerd. The content is always engaging, the stories are fun, and the quality is top-notch. This is one of the best produced podcasts I listen to, easy to listen to in the car or the headphones. Iāve been listening since the beginning, and it just keeps getting better. Good stuff, Ivan, thanks for the effort you put into sharing bird nerdery with us!

_Looking_upInformative and humorousI just came across this podcast. I started at the beginning and am working through every episode. Ivan has not yet persuaded me that birds are reptiles, but the rest of his information and trivia seem to check out. I also enjoy the dry humor.

Green1956Excellent, fun, and educationalIvan is great at making the subject matter of birds interesting and funny at the same time. He has a vast knowledge of birds, bird behavior and biology. When he doesnāt know something he does the research to educate himself and his listeners. His podcasts are well researched and the production is top notch. I am happy to support Ivanās podcast via Patreon and hope to go on one of his bird adventure trips one day. Keep up the great work Ivan! Canāt wait for the next episode.

rpb139Mixed feelingsThe content is great. I learn a lot and have been able to apply what I learn to my own love of birds The corny jokes especially when they go on and on I find annoying There are times I just stop listening

lapinyataaaaaaaaaMy favorite podcast - I listen to it every day!I absolutely love this podcast!
-
Monterey DudeSo interesting!I just found this podcast. I listen to about three other birding podcast, but this supplies a lot of scientific information, which is fascinating. And Iāve got so many back episodes to catch up on. It took great diversion from the current political and world affairs environment.

Lol8594HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!I love this podcast it is so good! Personally I need podcasts to get to sleep, and I highly recommend this one. (Not trying to say itās boring at all!!) This podcast is definitely a good podcast in general too. When you're cleaning, or in the car or just bored, this podcast is a good one to listen to. I think that you should also listen to this because it is educational. If you arenāt somebody that likes to listen to educational stuff then you should still listen to this because it is teaching you but it is teaching things other than science, math, ela, and history. Itās teaching about birds, and to some that is not boring to learn about! Thanks for reading HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PODCAST!!
-
permianboyJust what I was looking for!There are a ton of podcasts about birding as a hobby, many of which are quite excellent, but not as many focused on the actual science of ornithology. Ivan wonderfully fills that void with this informative but welcoming and accessible podcast. A must-listen for all bird lovers!
-
Olpit3Bird CentralIām starting at the beginning to glean everything I can from this podcast. Every episode is packed with information about birds that connects the listener to their habits, beauty, history and importance in their ecosystems. As a casual observer of backyard dinosaurs Iām grateful for the opportunity to expand my knowledge and appreciation of birds.
-
ScarletmindedPolar desert birds?Great show! The hostās voice is so calming and the writing is both informative and funny. Can you do any shows on peacocks, hornbills or secretary birds? Polar desert birds? I just found out there are polar deserts talking to you Podcast with my bf.
-
Ramble-on-RoseScience and HumorI mean who doesnāt like a few movie clip metaphors from Star Wars mixed with their bird science. This is an absolutely entertaining approach to the science of birds that includes ecological relationships with plants posed in a language we can all understand.
-
PnwrktgrlHighly recommend!A friend recommended this podcast and I have made it to episode 10 and will keep listening. Totally recommend as a great way to learn and have fun!

NemoTheUPSManTop notchTop notch podcast about everything birds! Binge listening right now. Audio quality is superb which sometimes makes or breaks a podcast!
-
mituska2New namesMy husband and I are new birders. I often listen to this informative podcast. Regarding renaming common birds, I am all for it. Names that are descriptive will be helpful. I think it will also bring more citizens into conservation efforts.
-
T&E-MPerfectly InformativeThis podcast is the perfect mix of scientific background, fun facts, humor, and excitement about birds. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to learn more about birds, nature, and biology!
-
emmmalaCaptivatingTo be honest, I started listening to this podcast for lighthearted background noise to fall asleep to. Wow, did that backfire. Itās so funny and interesting, it kept me up. Now I listen to it while Iām actually awake.
-
lausturFor the Love of BirdsI have tried many podcasts about birds, but this one is my favorite. Perhaps itās due to the podcasterās passion for birds or maybe itās because of his corny bird jokes and bird puns.
-

Lauren KohlHighly informative and enjoyable listenI have never felt the drive to leave a review on a podcast before, but I enjoy this show so much I just had to leave a review. Phillipson makes it easy to learn all about birds in a relaxed and entertaining way. He gives audio and vivid descriptions that help the listener picture the birds and the situations in which Phillipson is describing them. I also appreciate his humor and the jokes he throws in.
-
Madel07Best podcast everThe joy Ivan has towards birds is infectious. Iāve tried listening to many podcasts in this genre, but this one is the best. Itās inspiring to hear someone who is so passionate about learning and sharing knowledge.

Cape cod birdAll things Birds - This podcast rocks!Obsessed! Ivan is funny, heartfelt and so informative. I started at episode one and am making my way through. I have learned so much and he keeps his narrative light hearted and funny but he clearly knows his birds. Iām just a backyard birder but Ivan has raised my awareness of these amazing animals to dizzying heights. My new favorite friend on my walks, Ivan and his bird facts. šļøš¦ š¦š¦š„š¦¢šā¤ļø

Harry is a Bird NerdTo listen to The Science of Birds, or not to listen to The Science of Birds. Definitely do.I love this show so much. I was recently on a hunt for a new bird podcast to listen to, and this one was the only one that I could find, and no un-needed fluff. He also puts science into a language that normal people like me can understand. I love his funny voices, and he does a great job entertaining people. It is an AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAZZZZZIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG podcast, and I strongly recommend it for someone who loves birds, or is just plain interested in them.

DrJRDMScience of BirdsIvan does a great job bringing science into everyday life. I listen to this podcast for education, enjoyment and relaxation. Heās funny too.

Chris S. TEXASOUTSTANDING!A great tool and learning experience for birders and those simply interested in birds. Ivan covers a variety of subjects concerning different families and species. His comments are amusing also. You will learn and laugh! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK IVAN! š¦
-
MemeticVery informativeAlthough I find the lead-in to the podcast annoying (LOL), I learn an awful lot listening to this podcast. Mr. Phillipsen does an immense amount of research and presents it to the listener without bias. I like this very much
-
Podcast_JunkyValuable ResourceThese podcasts are always high quality, deep dives into a variety of technical aspects of bird biology. Have found this to be a very valuable resource. Thank you!
-
lexi-pinkOBSESSED!!!Everything about this show is perfect. Change nothing. Even though I consider myself an amateur bird enthusiast, Ivan wraps up science in a highly palatable, silly dad joke package that regularly makes me laugh out loud. They donāt make them like him too often! Iām a dog trainer who educates other dog trainers via online courses and I am soooo impressed with Ivanās ability to teach. Iāve learned so much from this show. Iāll probably listen to it many times over, thereās so much information. Thank you!!!
-
Mrs. J. RooksLove learningThank you so much for creating a podcast that I can learn about nature. I love learning the technical terms that go with these fascinating animals. I wouldnāt mind if you added more biology background type episodes, but love being a life long learner all the same.

Lindamcd115Get the s guy a coffee!We discovered this podcast as we set off on a long drive recently and we love it. Itās fun to learn more about birds! Thanks Ivan!
