Bird-watching Reduces Stress: Study

Bird-watching has been found to help reduce stress. In the course of the experiment, the participants were divided into three groups. The first group was offered to lead a normal lifestyle, the members of the second group were encouraged to take walks in the green zone at least once a week, and the third group was asked to observe and identify bird species. Volunteers from both experimental groups, especially those who observed birds, noticeably improved their own evaluations of their psychological state and experienced a decrease in stress.
