Jason Kitting (pronouns: he/him) is a bird banding expert who studies migratory birds and how they interact with the environment. Bird banding is a scientific practice of catching and releasing birds to understand their ages, movements and life histories – one of many that is governed by hands-on experience and mentorship rather than formal education and qualifications. For this reason, it is a wonderful way for people to gain practical experience in wildlife handling and monitoring without the barrier of a tertiary degree. Jason shares his story of how he became fascinated by birds, fell into bird banding and bird research for work and years later, is finishing up his first undergraduate degree. He discusses what bird banding involves and his advice for aspiring bird lovers looking to work with wildlife. #ITSAWILDLIFE
