A Short History on Bird Watching

Article Category: Recreation

Author Name: Kellie

Bird watching, or what is also known as "birding", is a term that can be defined as the scrutiny and examination of two-legged, warm-blooded, winged animals, or birds. The said can be done with the use of the naked eye or by utilizing tools that enrich the optical experience, such as field glasses and binoculars. Hearing is also a big part of the birding practice. This is due to the fact that numerous kinds of these winged creatures are easier to distinguish and classify by their chirps and tweets than by just looking at them. The majority of birders usually participate in this pursuit for leisure and entertainment objectives. In contrast, there are also some devotees of this activity who exercise more methodical and scientific techniques in their analysis and examination of birds, these people are called ornithologists.

The visual curiosity on birds can be said to have sprung near the end of the 18th century when the need to learn about these flying animals and their interesting past developed in Britain. However, this was generally only due to the fact that rich collectors wanted to know the history behind the plumage and the eggs that they have gathered. The accumulation of bird relics was common for well off personas then, using their connections around the planet to acquire species that weren't found in their area. On the contrary, the awareness of the necessity to protect these creatures began before the conclusion of the 19th century, and the monitoring and examining of living birds became the new fad. United States and Britain both inaugurated organizations to safeguard these creatures from getting killed to have their feathers sold for money, these protection groups were known as the Audubon Society and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds respectively. By the year 1901, the phrase "Bird Watching" was finally coined in a book by Edmund Selous which uses it as the title. Soon after, it was also proven that the classification of winged animals was not only conceivable by gunning them down, because by then lens-equipped instruments and bird recognition manuals became easily available. Automobiles also became more widespread during this era, enabling birders to go to fresh localities and other scenic destinations. By the 1960s, bird watching reached another height as traveling trough the air enabled enthusiasts to reach far off locations and exotic areas. The "Handbook of the Birds of the World", which was the most extensive published work of its kind, came about in the 1990s.

Bird watching was initially a leisure activity practiced in America, the United Kingdom and other industrialized nations. However, more and more countries which are starting to take steps in advancing their technological and economic status are also showing a growing interest in this pastime. Mostly, their curiosity would come from foreign nationals who have reached their lands for reasons relating to this hobby. Thus, citizens of developing regions have come to take notice of this pursuit. Birding has really come a long way.
