This is a slightly self-centered post – less about birds and more about the 10,000 Birds website. You have been warned. The site counts about 1000 unique sessions per day – in the last 30 days, on average 1006, to be exact – some days a hundred more, sometimes a hundred fewer. Who reads 10,000 Birds? A slight majority of visits (56%) come from the USA, where 10,000 Birds was founded.
