The one-liner
A fun birding community that adds group trips abroad to monthly calls and local meetups.
What they actually sell
The Flock is run by Angela Schumpert. The front-page promise is "For bird watchers who want to share their excitement about birds with other cool-ass birders." The public offer sits at $15 a month. A seven-day free trial and 20% off for annual members sit next to a list of upcoming birding trips. Inside sit 4 courses. The page does not spell out a money-back promise. What stands out is how directly the page names the result a buyer wants.
Who pays and why
Bird watchers of every level who want friends who get it. The pull is sharing the excitement and travelling to bird together. They pay for monthly social calls, expert interviews, map-based local meetups and group birding trips. The emotional pull is being around people chasing the same thing, which matters as much as any single lesson.
Where the members come from
Angela Schumpert's YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook presence appears to feed the room. The Skool community reads as the member back end for people already drawn to that work.
What's holding it back
Trips are the real draw, so the community depends on bookings. Quiet months between trips may feel thin.
Steal this
Put your upcoming trips on the page so the membership feels like a ticket to adventures.
Would this work in another niche?
Yes for other travel-led hobbies such as stargazing. Weak for hobbies done alone at home.

“This group rocks!”
Carol Smythe
“This group not only brings me so much joy, it motivates me!! I really can’t see life without it!! Thank you Angela and Alayna!!”
Jessica Warley
“I first saw Angela on Instagram. I I loved her reels. I still do! I joined The Flock and immediately felt at home. I get SO excited when I’m birding, but don’t have a human to share that with. The Flock gets it. Angela and Alayna are fabulous. I’ve learned so much from this forum. I wish I could give y’all 10 stars!”
Lisa Mattson
“This community is everything. What Angela and Alayna have built has restored my faith in online communities. But it’s more than an online community. It is a group of people who love and respect each other, online and in person, as we passionately share our love of birds, corny jokes, and some salty language.”
