Overview

Whether it is their ability to fly, utilization of sound and visual stimuli similar to us for communication or sheer number and presence on every continent, man’s fascination with birds is well recorded throughout history.

Key Features

Bird’s relationship with humans has resulted in them becoming a key component of the global economy. Bird watching and its associated eco tourism as well as feeding and hunting wild birds generate billions of dollars worldwide each year. Domesticated birds are popular pets across the globe.

Meat and eggs produced by birds are the largest source of animal protein produced and eaten by humans and other bird products such as feathers, oils, leather and feces are highly valuable in the clothing, pharmaceutical, cosmetics or fertilizer industries.

In addition, the value of bird service to humans through activities such as plant pollination, consumption of insect pests and as indicator species to the health of virtually every ecosystem present in the world is priceless.

Graduates from the Avian Biology program at University of Georgia have world-wide job opportunities that may involve the pet bird and commercial poultry industries, research institutes and bird sanctuaries, parks or zoos.
