Last Saturday we went to a bird banding demonstration. In talking with the banders, we learned that we could observe their actual field work when they set up at Rollins Savanna today. Yippee! I'm really looking forward to it!
Bird banders attach small numbered and/or colored bands to birds as an aid to research. Bird banders are known as bird ringers in parts of Europe (I can never remember who calls them which term, they both sound natural to me). The highlighted shirts for this week have all been designed just for bird banders!
This design has a collegiate style. Property of Banding Dept is shown on a hoodie. Also available in Property of Ringing Dept.
This design, iRing, spoofs a popular iPod ad campaign. It has the silhouette of a songbird with a white ring around one leg. Also available in iBand.
This last shirt is the word Bander made of elements.
This week's highlighted shirt is called Birda's Paradise. The text is designed to look like label tape stuck across the shirt. The spoof design for birdwatchers is shown here on a men's fitted t-shirt in Kelly Green.
This week's highlighted bird-themed shirt is Birdaholic, a text-only design in a collegiate style. This is a great birding t-shirt for anyone that is really, really into birds. Can't get enough? You might just be a Birdaholic.
This week's highlighted t-shirt, Eat Sleep Bird, is inspired by roadside information signs. Here the icons are for Eat (knife/fork), Sleep (person on bed) and Bird (represented by binoculars). This is one of two versions of Eat Sleep Bird in the shop; the other one features a bird...
The Bird is Right is a fairly new addition to our shop. This spoof on the game show The Price is Right comes complete with a flamingo silhouette instead of a dollar sign. This funny spoof design is cute for birders, especially if they are into birding competitions...
