Stop Missing the Signals in Nature’s Soundscape

Bird language isn’t just about identifying species—it’s about unlocking the deeper patterns of the wild, tuning into the intricate communication network that surrounds us, and learning to interpret the messages that birds broadcast throughout the day.

When you learn to interpret the messages birds are sending, the landscape will transform before your eyes. You’ll recognize when a predator is approaching, detect disturbances before you see them, and witness how birds react to the presence of other animals. Each call, body movement, and moment of silence tells a story—you just have to learn to tune in to these clues.

By 'speaking' bird language, you’ll experience nature on a whole new level. You’ll no longer simply be an observer—you’ll become part of the story, moving in harmony with the rhythms of the nature.

The knowledge of the wild is at your fingertips—don’t let it slip away!

We're so sure that you'll love Bird Language that we're offering an outrageous guarantee: You have 14 days after the course starts to change your mind and ask for a refund. No hassle, no questions asked, no hard feelings!

Right now, you have an opportunity to fundamentally change the way you interact with nature. Imagine tuning into the language of birds just like indigenous peoples, legendary scouts, and the early pioneers did—all of whom could interpret the sounds of the forest as if it were a living, breathing map. 

- OR -

You can continue walking through the wild completely unaware of what is transpiring around you, missing the alarms that reveal hidden predators, and overlooking other messages birds are sending that could otherwise lead you to incredible wildlife encounters.

The choice is yours. 

By unveiling the secrets of bird language—clues that have remained hidden until now—you can transform every outdoor experience into a journey of revelation and deep connection. But if you’re truly passionate about the outdoors and driven by a love for nature, is it really a choice?

Students Say Learning Bird Language is a Game Changer

Vanice Medley ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"The bird language course was brilliant! I’ve already started recognizing more bird behaviors during my daily routines, like sitting on my porch or visiting the park. This holistic approach to understanding the environment is eye-opening—and so worth it!"

Riley Kessler ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"From the very first week, this course changed how I see the world. Now, I notice birds everywhere—whether I’m walking, driving, or just sitting by the window. Each new skill opened my eyes to even more wonders. It’s a perspective I’ll carry with me forever!"

Jaren Claude Serano ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"This course gave me one word: AWARENESS. I’m more equipped to understand the wild—whether from my office window or on a hike. Bird language is science that’s accessible to anyone, no matter your skill level...just grab some curiosity (and maybe your binoculars) and dive in!"

Lee Burton

Known as The Outside Professor, Lee  is the founder of Naturalist Studies and an adjunct instructor at the University of Florida and Texas A&M, where he teaches animal behavior courses.

He is certified in Wildlife Track and Sign by CyberTracker Conservation, is a Master Naturalist, and mentored under Jon Young, the founder of the Wilderness Awareness School. Lee is also recognized as a Bird Language Leaders Instructor.

His passion for wildlife ultimately led him to become the director for Conservation Centers for Species Survival, where he was profiled on Steve Rinella's Meateater podcast for his role in reintroducing the Scimitar-horned Oryx to sub-Saharan Africa.

Lee grew up in a small town in Texas where easy access to nature led to a love of the outdoors, instilled in him by his father and other relatives who taught him how to hunt and fish. As he matured, his curiosity about the natural world deepened, leading him to study animals, plants, and ecology in some of the most remote places in Asia, Africa, and South America. While these experiences heightened his understanding of the world's fauna and flora, he yearned for a deeper connection with nature.

Upon returning to the United States, Lee delved into Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), learning ancient skills like animal tracking, bird language interpretation, and wilderness survival. Developing these skills was a game-changer, allowing him to see nature in a whole new light and realize that he was an integral part of the natural world, not just an observer.

Let’s hear it from Lee himself:

“Before learning bird language, I had a wealth of scientific knowledge but struggled to understand the way birds and other animals think. I couldn’t get inside their heads to know where they would be, what their motivations were, or predict their movements. I felt like an outsider, always on the edge of their world, but never truly part of it.

After learning bird language, I could step into any outdoor setting—whether it was my own property, a local park, or deep in the wilderness—and read the signs around me. I began to understand not just who was there, but why they were there, and what they were doing. Over time, I started being able to think like birds and other animals, predicting their movements, and understanding their behavior. It was as if I had been welcomed into their private world, where all their secrets were laid bare. This not only made me a more capable hunter and wildlife observer, but also a better naturalist, in the process transforming my wildlife adventures and deepening my connection to nature.

A few years later, a biology professor friend of mine asked if I would teach bird language to her students. The course I created became an instant hit, with students describing it as their favorite class. This success led to the development of other courses and the founding of Naturalist Studies, where I wanted to share this knowledge with a broader audience.

Now, I’m thrilled to offer these same learning materials to others. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to teach these skills and share this journey with you, as I believe that this course will fundamentally change your outdoor experiences forever, helping you see the wild in a way you never have before.”
