Note
A regular -ed form, so one spelling serves as both past tense and participle in every meaning of the verb. Only the transitive uses can turn passive: a broadcast is birded when it is sent by satellite, and in slang an offender is birded when put in prison. The birdwatcher's and hunter's senses take have instead (they had birded all morning), and birding is their present participle and gerund.
