👉 In the field of natural sciences, an "ornithologist" is a scientist who studies birds and their behavior. They study bird species, habitats, migration patterns, nesting habits, and other aspects of bird life. Ornithologists are often involved in research projects to understand how different bird populations interact with each other and with humans. Their work often involves using various types of scientific methods such as field observations, laboratory experiments, and computer modeling to gather data on birds and their behaviors.
