Thou shalt have no other interest before birding. If thou does, thou shalt not discuss it with other birders. Thou shalt not take unto thee any graven image of the birds that are in heaven above without giving photo credit to the photographer. Remember all thy birding days, and keep them special.
Work is the curse of the birding classes.
Honour those who introduced thee to birding and taught thee about birds that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. If thou should dishonour those experts, thy days may be short. Honour those who own the private property where birds congregate that they may allow thee to come back the next time. Thou shalt not steal a bird's eggs or, more importantly, a bird's habitat if thou wish to see the bird long on this earth. Thou shalt not bear false witness about birds thou hast identified or heard, nor shalt thou exaggerate or brag about birds thou hast seen.
