Birds are practically everywhere: from tree branches to power lines. But that doesn't mean it's easy to get close to these animals. We approach and the birds… Wings for what I want you.
Therefore, to observe these animals, it is useful to have binoculars with a magnification capacity of seven to ten times. However, no one needs to give up on the venture if they do not have an instrument of this type: it is possible to observe birds and even some of their own behaviors - such as reproduction and feeding - with the naked eye, especially in cities, where these animals are more accustomed to people.
