Birds are a vast subject of study and there migration patterns, breeding habits, and different roles in the ecosystem are studied in great detail under ornithology.

Hummingbirds and sunbirds aid in reproduction of plants while eagles and owls, that are classified as raptors, help to maintain balance within the food chain.
