Enough of the BIRDS already

This post is my opinion only. Here goes: If I never saw another photo of BIRDS on UHH, I would be happy as a pig in mud.
Hoggers know that there are a many BIRDERS posting pictures daily of their BIRD photos. You just might be one of them. No offense, but I’m tired of BIRD photos, and I fully realize that I will get a lot of opposing views from the BIRDERS. There are a bazillion birds in the world and they all look the same. Birds show no emotion. They all fly using the same physics of wing technology. They all eat worms or seeds or fish.
When I get my daily UHH Digest email, any item which has a reference to Birds, such as “Birds”, “BIF,” “Heron,” “Osprey” etc. etc. I will not take a peek. Some BIRDERS try to conceal that it is a post of BIRD pictures by giving the post some cutesy title, where the title evokes some emotion that birds do not have…the titles are like click-bate.
Just today, I went to the “Newest Pictures” section on UHH, and found sample pages of the sheer volume (ratio) of BIRD photos. See attached. I haven’t figured the exact % of Bird photos, but that % is high.
My second most overused category is “Flowers.” There are likely a magnitude more flowers in the world that BIRDS, and the same logic applies. IMO, photos of single flowers NO, an arboretum with a massive amount of flowers designed into the venue YES….colorful and pleasing! Now if you put people in front of a massive flower display, even better!
My favorite genre of photos is PEOPLE, people of all ages, infants to old-timers. People’s faces tell a story, have emotion, and evoke joy or tears or wonderment to the viewer. Second favorite is Landscapes.
SOLUTION:
Just as UHH has sections for “People Photography” and “Sports Photography”, if the Admin could make 2 additional sections, one for “Bird Photography” and one for “Flowers Photography,” that would allow BIRDERS/FLOWERS to post their precious photos there, and would allow Hoggers to either subscribe or not to these sections, and would take Birds and Flowers out of the “Photo Gallery” section.

So sad, people taking and posting photos daily, working on their photographic skills. Simple answer, don't look. I certainly don't bother with the places where many of your threads are housed.

I agree 100%. If you don't like certain posts don't read them. On the other hand most people like to have their work critiqued in a friendly manner.

That's odd. My least favorite genre is people. Go figure. I still look at "people" images, though. They don't upset me.

Don’t you just hate it when you’re forced to look at pictures you don’t care for??!!
Edit: Whenever some idiot pollutes your thread with their pictures, you can always request Admin to delete it.

Do you have anything appropriate like a Dodo bird in your archives? Or maybe a condor? Somewhere, if I can find it, I'm sure I have a harpy.
