Birding Ethics: Guidelines for respecting birds, their habitat, and each other

鸟类伦理:尊重鸟类、它们的栖息地和其他准则

As birders, we love to spend time with birds in their habitat, sharing their space. But regardless of our motivation for going out and finding birds, we always have the potential to cause disturbance and harm to the animals we are observing. It is important for us to consider our impacts to wildlife, other birders, and non-birders we may interact with while out in the field.  Ideally, we can all be observers, not influencers, of wildlife behavior.

Reducing risks to birds:

There are many ways to ensure that our actions are not directly harming birds or their habitat.

Collisions with cars kill tens of millions of birds in North America every year. When driving around refuges or other birding destinations, drive slowly and with extra caution. Using the eBird Mobile app or texting other members of your party can wait until you are stopped! If you have a dog with you, be aware of how it is affecting wildlife. Dogs can chase ground-nesting birds off of their nests and even kill chicks and eggs. When you are on-foot, be on the trail! Otherwise you migh damage vegetation, destroy low-lying nests, and cause extra disturbance to wildlife.

Humans sharing space with wildlife may cause indirect harm through disturbance. Some species such as nesting owls and Snowy Plovers are especially vulnerable to human disturbance and can even abandon nests if bothered too much. The nest of any bird should always be viewed at a distance where you are not causing agitation to the parents. Alarm calls and rapid or frantic movements from adult birds is a cue to move away from a nest. Humans can also draw the attention of nest predators such as jays, which sometimes follow human observers to nests, or ground predators may also follow human made trails.

Consider that bird behavior might be best left to the birds. Playback and pishing (mimicking songbird alarm calls) can draw birds closer and encourage vocalizations, but are inherently disruptive to the birds. The use of playback and pishing is best left for educational purposes or research and is not necessary to enjoy a day out birding.

Those leading birding groups also have a responsibility to make sure all group members are engaging in safe and ethical birding. Birding with others is a great way to exchange knowledge, make connections, and increase the strength of the birding community, but increased numbers of people means increased risk of harm to wildlife and their habitat. It is up to the trip leader to make sure these risks are minimized. Leaders can do this by appropriately sizing the group, and laying out expectations before starting a birding trip. This is especially true for trips. Birding trips that go into vulnerable plant communities such as alpine tundra or wet meadows, where trampling of plants can lead to habitat damage.

Respecting other humans:

Bird mania, we have all been there. Deep into a birding adventure, you are single-mindedly focused on absorbing and identifying every feathery movement. All of your senses are strained, and all non-bird related information is being filtered out. Suddenly, a small gray-brown form flits over a fence and into the bushes of a home that happens to be adjacent to the park you are birding in. Was it a Brewer’s Sparrow? That would be a new one for your county list! Maybe if you just peek through the fence or walk around a bit you can get a better look?

It’s easy to forget that the family living in the house likely do not appreciate a stranger with binoculars poking around their yard. While birds don’t worry about human property boundaries, we as birders can be more sensitive to private property. Crossing private property without permission or pointing binoculars in the direction of others or their homes should be avoided. Always be polite and courteous to anyone you might run into while birding and be mindful of how your actions are being perceived by members of the community.

Your actions can also have a major impact on others you are birding with. Beginner birders can benefit immensely from the knowledge and enthusiasm of a patient and friendly expert who is willing to share their knowledge.

Remember that your actions shape others’ perceptions of the birding community and can have a major influence on those you are birding with.

Ethical Birding Guidelines:

● Be aware of sensitive and threatened species that might be vulnerable to disturbance.
● Do not share nest locations of sensitive species except with appropriate wildlife officials or conservation scientists.
● Stay at a distance where you are not agitating birds or modifying their behavior, especially near nests.
● Leave dogs at home or on a leash if in an area with ground nesting birds. Shorebirds, such as Snowy Plovers, that nest on beaches are especially vulnerable to loose dogs.
● Limit use of pishing and playback — Do not use in heavily birded areas or for sensitive species.
● Drive slowly and carefully.
● Stay on designated trails, do not trample vegetation.
● If leading a birding group, be aware of group size and make sure it is not so large that it is damaging the habitat or interfering with others using the same area.
● Make sure all group members are aware of and practicing ethical birding guidelines
● Respect private property rights, only enter with express permission.
● Follow all traffic rules, drive the speed limit, don’t park on the road, keep eyes on the road.
● Don’t point binoculars towards other people or directly into yards or windows.
● Always be polite and courteous to non-birders you encounter, share your knowledge when appropriate.
● If birding with others, be respectful of the ability of all group members, be encouraging and share your knowledge with beginners.

作为赏鸟者,我们喜欢在鸟类的栖息地与它们共度时光,分享它们的空间。但不管我们外出寻找鸟类的动机如何,我们总是有可能对我们观察的动物造成干扰和伤害。对我们来说,重要的是要考虑我们对野生动物、其他赏鸟者以及我们在野外可能与之互动的非观鸟者的影响。理想情况下,我们都可以成为野生动物行为的观察者,而不是影响者。

降低鸟类风险:

有很多方法可以确保我们的行动不会直接伤害鸟类或它们的栖息地。

在北美,每年与汽车相撞导致数千万只鸟类死亡。当驾车在保护区或其他观鸟目的地附近行驶时,应特别小心地缓慢行驶。使用eBird Mobile应用程序或向其他成员发送短信,可以等到你被阻止!如果你身边有一只狗,请注意它对野生动物的影响。狗可以把地面筑巢的鸟赶出它们的巢穴,甚至杀死小鸡和蛋。当你走路的时候,就在路上!否则,你可能会破坏植被,摧毁低洼的巢穴,并对野生动物造成额外的干扰。

人类与野生动物共享空间可能会通过干扰造成间接伤害。一些物种,如筑巢的猫头鹰和雪犁,特别容易受到人类的干扰,如果太麻烦,甚至可以弃巢。任何鸟的巢都应该在你不会引起父母不安的地方观察。成年鸟类发出的警报声和快速或疯狂的动作是离开巢穴的提示。人类也可以引起鸟巢捕食者的注意,比如松鸦,它们有时会跟随人类观察者到鸟巢,或者地面捕食者也会跟随人类的足迹。

考虑到鸟类的行为可能最好留给鸟类。播放和撒尿(模仿鸣禽的警报声)可以拉近鸟类的距离,鼓励发声,但对鸟类来说,这本身就是一种干扰。播放和撒尿的用途最好留给教育或研究,而不是享受一天的观鸟。

那些主要的观鸟团体也有责任确保所有团体成员都参与安全和合乎道德的观鸟活动。与他人一起观鸟是一种交流知识、建立联系和增强观鸟社区力量的好方法,但人数的增加意味着野生动物及其栖息地受到伤害的风险增加。行程负责人应确保将这些风险降至最低。领导者可以通过适当调整团队规模,并在开始观鸟之旅之前列出期望值来做到这一点。对于旅行来说尤其如此。前往高山苔原或潮湿草地等脆弱植物群落的鸟类旅行,践踏植物会导致栖息地受损。

尊重他人:

鸟类狂热,我们都经历过。在观鸟探险的深处,你专注于吸收和识别每一个羽毛动作。你所有的感官都紧张了,所有与鸟类无关的信息都被过滤掉了。突然,一只灰棕色的小麻雀飞过一道栅栏,飞到了一个家的灌木丛中,而这个家恰好与你正在观鸟的公园相邻。这是布鲁尔麻雀吗?那将是你的郡名单上的新名字!也许如果你只是透过栅栏偷看或四处走走,你就能看得更清楚?

人们很容易忘记,住在房子里的家人很可能不欣赏一个拿着望远镜在院子里张望的陌生人。虽然鸟类不担心人类财产的界限,但作为观鸟者的我们可能对私人财产更加敏感。应避免在未经许可的情况下穿过私人财产,或将望远镜指向他人或其家的方向。对观鸟时可能遇到的任何人都要保持礼貌和礼貌,并注意社区成员对你的行为的看法。

你的行为也会对你的同伴产生重大影响。初学者可以从一位愿意分享知识的耐心友好的专家的知识和热情中受益匪浅。

请记住,你的行为塑造了他人对观鸟群体的看法,并可能对与你一起观鸟的人产生重大影响。


赏鸟伦理指南:


● 注意易受干扰的敏感和受威胁物种。

● 除非与适当的野生动物官员或保护科学家共享,否则不要共享敏感物种的巢穴位置。

● 保持距离,不要惊动鸟类或改变它们的行为,尤其是在鸟巢附近。

● 将狗留在家中,如果在有地面筑巢鸟类的区域,则将狗拴在皮带上。在海滩上筑巢的海岸鸟,如雪犁,尤其容易受到走狗的伤害。

● 限制垂钓和回放的使用-不要在鸟类密集的地区或敏感物种使用。

● 缓慢小心驾驶。

● 保持在指定的道路上,不要践踏植被。

● 如果领导一个观鸟小组,请注意小组的规模,并确保其规模不会太大,从而破坏栖息地或干扰使用同一区域的其他人。

● 确保所有小组成员都了解并遵守道德观鸟准则

● 尊重私有财产权,只有在明确许可的情况下才能进入。

● 遵守所有交通规则,超速行驶,不要在道路上停车,注意道路。

● 不要将望远镜对准其他人或直接对准院子或窗户。

● 对你遇到的非观鸟者始终保持礼貌和礼貌,在适当的时候分享你的知识。

● 如果与其他人一起观鸟,请尊重所有小组成员的能力,鼓励他们,并与初学者分享你的知识。

Promoting Ethical Birding Guidelines
The Mindful Birding project encourages birders to have gratifying experiences while maintaining the ability of birds to behave naturally. We present ethical birding guidelines from around the world.

The project has three goals:

increase the conservation contributions from America\'s birdwatchers
increase awareness of ethical birding guidelines
encourage a practice of mindfulness among birders
Our image of a Mindful Birder is one who is aware of:

the needs of wildlife
the role birders can play in advancing bird conservation
the ways he or she may influence the experiences of others
themselves and their personal birding experience
his or her safety and the safety of others nearby
Mindful Birding is a charitable project of the Morrissey Family Foundation with contributions from Brandon Breen.

推广道德鸟类指南

“用心观鸟”项目鼓励观鸟者在保持鸟类自然行为能力的同时获得令人满意的体验。我们提出了世界各地的道德观鸟指南。

该项目有三个目标:

增加美国观鸟者的保护贡献

提高对道德观鸟准则的认识

鼓励观鸟者练习正念

我们心目中的一个有意识的鸟是:



野生动物的需求

观鸟者在促进鸟类保护方面可以发挥的作用

他或她可能影响他人体验的方式

他们自己和个人观鸟经验

他或她的安全和附近其他人的安全

念鸟是莫里西家庭基金会的慈善项目,由布兰登·布林捐赠。
