my weekends are filled with bird watching.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Birdwatching, or birding, is a form of wildlife observation in which the observation of birds is a recreational activity or citizen science. It can be done with the naked eye, through a visual enhancement device like binoculars and telescopes, by listening for bird sounds, or by watching public webcams. Birdwatching often involves a significant auditory component, as many bird species are more easily detected and identified by ear than by eye. Most birdwatchers pursue this activity for recreational or social reasons, unlike ornithologists, who engage in the study of birds using formal scientific methods. The first recorded use of the term \"birdwatcher\" was in 1891; \"bird\" was introduced as a verb in 1918. The term \"birding\" was also used for the practice of \"fowling\" or hunting with firearms as in Shakespeare's \"The Merry Wives of Windsor\" (1602): \"She laments sir... her husband goes this morning a-birding.\" The terms \"birding\" and \"birdwatching\" are today used by some interchangeably, although some participants prefer \"birding\", partly because it includes the auditory aspects of enjoying birds. In North America, many birders differentiate themselves from birdwatchers, and the term \"birder\" is unfamiliar to most lay people.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I love to go birdwatching on the weekends.
