Beginner`s guide to birdwatching: Finding birds & happiness
Identify birds anywhere in the world, improve your health, reduce stress or enjoy making a bird-friendly garden
Description
Medical professionals agree that exposure to nature is necessary for our good health. If you are looking for more natural ways to reduce stress, restore cognitive fatigue or simply have a happier and healthier life, this course is for you.
And what a better way to receive these benefits than by learning more about our surroundings and the birds that visit us every day (even if we haven't quite noticed these mysterious visitors yet). As you learn more about birds you'll start feeling curious and they will inspire you to travel, looking for more species with fascinating behaviours and striking colours.
When you begin to identify birds with the personalized framework we have created and start applying the practices to attract birds to your own backyard; you might find your days far more enjoyable and will find that it is just what you need before getting into rush hour, or that complicated meeting with a client, or having that report delivered on time.
We encourage you to share every insight you learn; the birds certainly need it, and our planet needs it. As bird populations are decreasing, you can shift the situation by taking simple and enjoyable actions with the practices we will show you, and create deeper connections with nature and people all around us.
