Birdwatching is a fun hobby. It is also good for you. Scientists say seeing and hearing birds can help people feel happy. Here is how to start birdwatching.

Set up a bird feeder (鸟食罐). Feeders are a great way to attract birds. They let you watch birds without leaving home.

Take a field trip. Want to see birds beyond your backyard (后院)? Visit places near the water. Birds get thirsty! They like lakes and ponds.
