I don't think you are really being fair. I think a lot of folks are on this forum to learn the proper ways to be friends with birds.
Maybe you are referring to those that own birds and don't study and try to learn, but I would say that people are in general, attracted to these boards to learn from folks who know more than they.
I have spoken to some very knowledgeable folks in just the short time I've been here. I have learned many many things, and it doesn't have to do with making my birds more cuddly or more rabbit-like. Rather I've learned more about respecting who they are and establishing a relationship that is proper for us both. I read a bunch of books too, but this forum has been more valuable than books because you can give and take, ask questions back and forth.
Forums are fun to mingle with other like minded people, yes. But I think a lot of people I have encountered on this forum truly want to do the right thing.
