In elementary school Christian Cooper found himself in a class that bored him to death. Little did he know that that class would spawn a lifetime passion and even a TV show.
The class was wood shop, and the 10-year-old Cooper couldn’t see the point. “I have no wood shop skills whatsoever to this day,” he grins.
“But I had to build either a footstool or a bird feeder. And happily, I built the bird feeder, put it up, filled it with seed and kept wondering what all the crows with red on their wings were. I thought I discovered a new species of crow. I was all excited.”
