Who watches birds? People of all ages watch birds. It's an
activity you can keep doing all your life and in any part of the world. The
average age of birders is dropping and it is nowadays perceived as a "yuppie"
activity. Birding is the fastest growing outdoor activity in the U.S., with
over 70 million people watching birds. How can you learn about bird watching?
EduBirding offers Beginner Bird Identification Courses and have guided outings
and informative activities to get you started. Be warned - it's addictive!
What's in for me if I start birding?
- Health: Birding gets you upright. It gets you outside
and walking- but, it's effortless since your attention is on the birds.
Nevertheless, after a little time of birding, you've usually covered quite
a bit of ground and it's far cheaper than any gym! Birding is also considered
therapeutic in some psychological circles and recommended as a great stress
reliever.
- Unity: Birding unites people across generations and nations.
Birding as a family means that parents or grandparents can introduce their
children to get an interest in nature that will stay with them all their
lives.
- Companionship: Birding is an ideal social activity. There
is no need to be lonely and EduBirding has something on offer for everybody.
Birders love to share their knowledge and experiences and newcomers are
always welcome.
- Satisfaction: Birding involves our primeval hunting instincts.
It gives all the satisfaction of the hunt - even though the "prey" itself
escapes unharmed. Birding is the perfect sport for the 21st century and
for many "twitches" it can be extremely competitive
