Ornithology

An ornithologist is a scientist who studies birds and everything that has to do with them. Ornithology is a branch of zoology that is focused with the "methodological study and consequent understanding of birds and all that has to do with them." Several areas of ornithology are distinct from similar sciences, in part because of the great visibility and aesthetic appeal of birds in comparison to other animals. Additionally, amateurs have made significant contributions in terms of time, energy, and financial assistance to this field as well as other fields. Important concepts in biology, including evolution, behaviour, and ecology have been developed as a result of bird research. These concepts include the definition of a species, the process of speciation, instinct, learning, ecological niche, guilds, island biogeography, phylogeography, and conservation, among others.

In contrast to the early ornithologists, who were primarily concerned with the descriptions and distributions of species, modern ornithologists are interested with finding solutions to very specific issues, often using birds as models to test hypotheses or predictions different theoretical. As a result, most current biological ideas are applicable to all kinds of life, and the number of scientists who describe themselves as "ornithologists" has fallen as a result. In ornithology, a diverse variety of equipment and procedures are used, both in the laboratory and in the field, and new developments are continually being introduced into the subject. The majority of scientists that identify themselves as "Ornithologists" specialise in certain areas, such as Anatomy, Taxonomy, or Ecology, as well as unique lifestyles and behaviours of birds. Despite the fact that this may be applied to a wide variety of biological practises.
