Ornithology (from the Greek ''ornis'' = bird and ''logos'' = word/science) is the branch of Zoology concerned with the Scientific study of Bird s. Several aspects of the study of ornithology differ from closely related disciplines, perhaps because of the high visibility and the aesthetic appeal of birds. Most marked among these is the extent of field studies undertaken by amateur volunteers working within the parameters of strict scientific methodology. FIELDS OF STUDY The areas of study that are included under ornithology are numerous and no list can attempt to be exhaustive. The following is a broad classification of some of the fields within contemporary ornithology.
The techniques used in ornithology are varied and changing. Early ornithological studies were based on specimen shooting and skins. Ornithology has subsequently become largely observation based. Optical instruments have been very important in ornithology, however approaches such as the use of Radar and Radio Tracking are also used. Use of ringing and other marking techniques have helped in studies of Migration and behaviour. NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS AND SOCIETIES Asia ;India
