Thank you so much for sharing it.

Over to you, Jonah.

Do you think about dinosaurs?

Are they your thing?

I agree, Jonah.

When I see the feet of emu and cassowary, I just feel like we are back in the Jurassic era.

How about you, Sean?

Do you think about dinosaurs much?

Yeah.

Wow, Sean, that sounds like a day for the history books.

All the good things happening at once.

Thanks for a great question, Danny.

And to answer your question about favourite dinosaurs, my new favourite dinosaur is the Archaeopteryx.

This was a dinosaur that my nephews recently taught me about.

It is known as the first bird and has a very famous fossil that pretty much proved that modern birds evolved from theropods.

If people haven't seen this dinosaur before, it was about 1.5 to 2 meters tall and it had a bony helmet-like crest on its head that looked a lot like what you see on a cassowary.

It had quill-like feathers and this massive dagger-like claw on its inner toe that functioned exactly like raptor claws.

So if you've never seen this dinosaur before, I'll put a link to the Australian Museum website so you can check it out.

And it's a really cool-looking dinosaur.

Okay, our next question is from Kelly W., who wants to know, when can you tell when you've graduated from a beginner birder to intermediate?
