Big year

How do you become

the greatest birder in the world?

You have to win the Big Year.

What's a Big Year?

Here, I'll let this English guy tell you.

Well into the 19th century,

Americans celebrated Christmas Day

with contests to kill

the most birds in a single day.

In 1900, Audubon Society ornithologist

Frank Chapman

suggested Americans should

count them instead,

leading eventually

to the creation of the Big Year,

a competition to see

the greatest number of birds

in North America in a calendar year.

"Didn't you tell me that a Big Year killed your marriage to Steph in '03?"

"First of all, I was married to Bridget in '03."

"Didn't you tell me that a Big Year killed your marriage to Bridget?"

"A contributing factor, but, no, not the main reason. There were so many other problems with that marriage."

A person of a young age, but sounds a lot older, there can also be a young year old. A person who's voice sounds a lot younger then it actually is.

Big Year Old

This is something said by a young child to Fe4RLess during a Fortnite match.

Fearless: how old are you man?

Kid: you sound like a Big Year Old
Fearless: nah man I'm sick
