The Bird Watching Club for World Travelers |

You don't need to be an expert birder to contact a Pal. Together you have love for nature, birds, new countries and learning.
These are serious birdwatchers willing to share their time to help you. It is a privilege to contact them. Your message should be respectful.
A Birding Pal does not charge a fee, however you should pay for their expenses, transportation costs, entrance fees, meals, etc.
Pals will answer your messages quickly, if they can. You might select someone who is traveling, so write to more than one Pal, and be patient. Let us know if someone doesn't answer and we'll check that everything is okay.
Let us know when you are going to meet a Pal, and then let us know how it went.
Happy birding.
