Talk:Snowbird (person)

Origin of term?
Any references to the origin? This section merely says that usage is reflected in the song. Hardly an origin. Perhaps the song made an existent term more popular, to the point of common usage? --SidP 00:59, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

I had presumed that there was an actual avian called a snowbird, but Google only brings me here. Alex Riley (England, so excuse my ignorance) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.43.96.73 (talk) 10:26, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Economic Effects?
No mention is made of the seasonal economy in the most elderly parts of Florida, particularly in the Nature Coast and Sun Coast areas. (I know of places to close up completely for months out of the year, but it would be original research to put it here.) Some data on traffic patterns would be helpful too. My ride time to work is literally cut in half during the summer. kevinthenerd (talk) 02:51, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Geographic limitation of the term
Comment moved from article:

What there are no snowbirds from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, etc? Am I not a snowbird? My permanent home is in Oregon, but when the weather turns nasty in October - I head to our winter home in sunny, warm La Quinta, CA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.83.226.162 (talk • contribs) 04:34, 24 February 2010

Colorado
I've also heard the term used to describe visitors who flock to Colorado for the skiing. 75.32.48.200 (talk) 21:55, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Slang
Snowbird was a slang term for a cocaine user, back in the 1940s. Its use today may intentionally ironic. 121.44.192.134 (talk) 01:55, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
