What are the rules for bird watching?

The rules for bird watching are:

1. Protecting the environment is the obligation of every bird lover. Go into the wild, take away only wonderful pictures and bird species records, and leave only your different shades of footprints.

2. Pay attention to observing and recording the ecological environment of birds, which will help form a comprehensive bird survey report.

3. During bird watching, please try to stay quiet and do not make loud noises.

4. Don’t tell others easily when you encounter bird’s nests or baby birds, so as not to cause harm to them.

5. When the bird has issued a warning, please do not continue to approach.

6. Please be careful when releasing bird species information. When encountering rare and nationally protected bird species, try to keep them confidential and expand bird watching locations appropriately.

7. Please do not feed wild birds at will.

8. In the important living areas of birds, please do not pick wild fruits or pick up other small animals at will, so as not to affect the normal feeding of birds.

9. Buying and releasing birds is discouraged.

10. Pay attention to safety and do not act alone. Try not to go into the water or come into contact with bird feces and other excrement.

11. Care for nature, do not spit or throw melon rinds and fruit shells everywhere; do not break branches or pick flowers at will, take away garbage that is not easily degraded naturally, and maintain the image of a friend of nature.

12. Telescopes are essential equipment for bird watching: Everyone should have one pair of binoculars, 8 to 10 times, with an objective lens diameter of 40 or 50 mm, and no red or yellow coatings. The magnification of a monocular telescope is between 20 and 60 times. A stable tripod is required. For a group trip of three people, one monocular telescope is basically enough.

13. If you encounter illegal hunting of wild birds, report it to the relevant departments in a timely manner and take appropriate measures to protect the birds.

14. The outdoor environment and weather are changeable, so safety is an issue that should be considered. When going to unfamiliar environments or uninhabited mountains and forests to watch birds, please keep the number of people at least three people.

15. Do not use flash when photographing birds.
