Bird Identification, Remember Bird Names And Details

Bird identification isn't easy. The best bird books may look wonderful at home, but it is often very difficult to work out what the bird you have been looking at really is. There is no real alternative to time and experience, as long as you have a good memory. The most important ingredient of a good memory is a genuine interest, and then acute observation. If you have a genuine interest in any subject, however abstruse, you will remember a remarkable amount, but if you don't - you won't.

The better-memory-course is designed to develop your powers of observation and interest. The author is a retired general medical practitioner who has trained senior executives in major international companies, the civil service and the armed forces. He has produced a course which will help you to identify and remember all the details you need for better bird identification, as well as for a better and more interesting life in general. Students in a London Medical School used to be sent on the Circle line of the underground and not allowed off until they had identified twenty diseases. This was the start of learning observation skills.

Bird identification consists of a whole range of different details which you will learn to file in the back of your mind so that they come out automatically when you see a bird. These are a combination of size, season, shape, attitude, posture, plumage, flight, habits and many other little details which you will sub-consciously learn and store in your mind. These can't be fully described in a book because they tend to be subjective as well as objective. There is no real alternative to your own mental computer.

The Better-Memory-Course will train and develop this mental computer for you. Every child keeps asking the question "Why?". They have a natural interest and their minds soak up information like sponges. You can learn to go back to a second childhood.

You will learn a whole range of skills but the two most important are better observation and lateral thinking. With better observation and an eye for detail you will start noticing things all around you. You will be amazed at what you have failed to see previously. You will remember the names and details of people you meet so that you will recognise them the next time you meet them. People like to be remembered and they show their appreciation by responding to you. This will open great opportunities in all sorts of fields, and will also bring you new friends and new ideas.
