Avian research focuses on the study of birds, their behavior, physiology, ecology, evolution, and conservation. This field of research examines various aspects of avian biology, including migration patterns, mating behaviors, diet, communication, and the effects of environmental changes on bird populations. Avian researchers may study birds in the wild, in captivity, or through a combination of field and laboratory studies. The ultimate goal of avian research is to better understand and protect bird species and their habitats.
