I think you at this time are just really enamored by your new automobile acquisition.
I once spent hours on a Mercedes Benz forum & before that vacuums, then dabbled in jade & pearls etc.
Things is there are places specifically designed for the detailed discussion of those things.
There is some overflow of topics beyond birds but for me most of what needs to be said about an enthusiastic subject can be voiced in the off topics etc Around the neighborhood. The way I think of it is if you need to talk about & discuss your eye you don't go to a foot doctor.
I know at one time the forum was concerned with bandwidth so they have to put limitations so I understand.
Things happen in our lives *& many of us have become close friends even family so we come to discuss & try to deal with unrelated bird issues in our lives. Its OK by me & I've been there.
I've taken apart my Benz & for a short while it was a passion. The old 83 Euro very special car had problems passing emissions & in CA that s a big deal. I love the car ut no longer drive & it sits under dust with a dead battery for years now. Finally accepted that I did not have the money to fix it so its no longer registered & insured.
Now its useless & I can't even sell it unless its registered & passes smog. Just a 2 ton garage paperweight now. A memory of some good times in the past. My world has changed so much. Cancer, a broken foot, covid & losing my Mom. I'm a mere shell of what I used to be. I just go on without much passion or dreams anymore so I understand.
What will be I guess will be. Does not hurt to ask a question or to express ones feelings.
Enjoy that beast. Thats was my Benz's nickname given to it by someone.
Her she is in her better days.
