| Birds |
Ornithology is the observation and monitoring of birds. Monitoring and understanding of birds is the most intelligent way to observe our natural environment. Birds, which are very sensitive to the environmental conditions, can be the prior messenger of the matters such as forest and marsh losses or usage of excessive agricultural medicines. Under this concept, bird observation is among the elements of detailed and effective environment protection strategies.

Total number of bird species within Turkey is equal to the number within whole of the Europe. One of the most important factors that our country is rich in connection with bird species is her having plentiful marshes and the other one is her being on important bird immigration roads. Bird observation stations and observation towers are established within important marshes of our country (Manyas , İzmir, Goksu Deltasi etc.), and progresses in connection with ornito-tourism are performed. Important passing points of birds in our country are Istanbul and Canakkale Straits, Eastern Mediterranean (Adana, Hatay, Gaziantep) and North East Anatolia (Artvin, Rize, Kars). Bird observation (ornithology) is rapidly spreading in Turkey during recent years. Currently "bird observation groups" are being established within various cities. Groups are sharing information and records related with their performed observations under the world wide web services. Feel free to contact our office for further assistance and information...
