I also have a stack of cards in both of our cars so we can be sure to pass them out if we happen to talk to anyone who might be interested.  Sometimes I just run into friends in town who strike up a bird conversation and I whip out a card!”</p><p style="text-align:right;white-space:pre-wrap;" class="">   – Candy P., Jamestown, Rhode Island</p><h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>for shy ambassadors</strong></h3><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">“I distribute cards the tried-and-true introvert's way: placing them where they will be noticed such as the membership check-in area of my local bird club at monthly meetings, and literature tables at the college where I teach. I've also put a few on bulletin boards around town.”</p><p style="text-align:right;white-space:pre-wrap;" class=""> – Adrielle M., Rochester, New York</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">“Share Talkin’ Birds posts on Facebook, retweet the Tweets, and repost Instagram Posts!”</p><p style="text-align:right;white-space:pre-wrap;" class="">— Jack M., Marshfield, Massachusetts</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">“I posted the link to Talkin’ Birds on my Facebook page.”</p><p style="text-align:right;white-space:pre-wrap;" class="">  – Bill K., Barrington, Rhode Island</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">“I send a card in the Christmas letters I send to family and friends who are nature lovers.” </p><p style="text-align:right;white-space:pre-wrap;" class="">— Candy P., Jamestown, Rhode Island</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">“I often slide the Talkin' Birds cards between the 40-pound black sunflower seed bags at my local Tractor Supply Co.
