Birdo is Australian slang for a birdwatcher or birder — someone who spends their leisure time spotting, identifying, and listing bird species. Like many Australian diminutives ending in '-o', it takes a hobby and gives it a laid-back, approachable feel. Birdos take their passion seriously, hauling binoculars and field guides to wetlands and bush reserves across the country. The term is affectionate rather than dismissive, embraced by the birding community itself.
Every birdo in the campsite was up before dawn to catch a glimpse of the glossy black cockatoo.
