The Beautiful Bird Awards aim to celebrate avian beauty, but they face significant challenges. Here are 9 reasons why they don’t work: subjective judging, limited species coverage, bias towards popular birds, lack of scientific criteria, inconsistent standards, poor public awareness, insufficient funding, short-term focus, and inadequate conservation impact. To improve, we can establish clear guidelines, broaden species inclusion, raise awareness, secure better funding, and link awards to conservation efforts. By addressing these issues, the awards can truly honor bird beauty and contribute to avian conservation.
