Ornithology is the study of birds, including their behavior, physiology, genetics, and ecology. Ornithologists are trained to identify and study various bird species, their habitats, and their interactions with other organisms in their environment. They use scientific methods to gather data, analyze results, and draw conclusions about the behavior and ecology of birds, and how they are affected by human activities such as habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change. Becoming an ornithologist requires specialized training and skills in biology, ecology, and environmental science, as well as a passion for studying and conserving bird species.
