What do you call a person who studies birds?

ORNITHOLOGIST- It simply means a person who studies birds, a term usually reserved to describe those serious scientific types that have some sort of degree in the subject and thus a rightful claim to moral superiority.

BIRDWATCHER - Well, I hope you can get this one without much explanation, just a person who watches birds. Beginning or experienced, usually they own some binoculars, a field guide, know where to find a Roadside hawk, and keep a list of sightings. Today the connotation of birdwatcher is not hip and although it’s an accurate and descriptive title, there are just too many to constitute an elite.

BIRDER - As you may have already guessed, the hip, elite and seriously involved in identifying and collecting listings. Example: If you are a “birder” you don’t go birdwatching, you go “birding” to adventurous locations.

TWITCHER - This list wouldn’t be complete without listing the “Twitcher”. Bill Oddie, in his famous “Little Black Bird Book” defines it as, “Someone who is obsessed with `Ticks’ (British for “mark it off your list”), races around the country chasing rare birds, uses all the correct terms and marks off the list as he goes.” http://www.ambergriscaye.com/birds/idiotguide.html
