It's just that birds are peak camera gear flex, or you're old enough now to dump tons of money into the hobby that you can now zoom into a birds asshole.
Also, as you get older you find that outdoors things get more difficult, and photography keeps you outdoors but it's at a slower pace.
I started getting into wildlife photography because I enjoyed hiking as a hobby, but once I had a kid, all my other hobbies just became too difficult, so I paired one hobby I had always been interested in with one that my wife can't realistically get angry at me for spending a few hours on rhe weekend doing. Also, if I had a hobby at home it would get interrupted constantly.
